Re: Question on dagger restoration?
Hi,
This would require extensive work and I am not sure that you could accomplish your objectives without making it a parts dagger.
I can only suggest a very good cleaning with some form of polish as RenWax will not remove this much rust on it's own.

Re: Question on dagger restoration?
Ralph,
Would there be a polish you would suggest? Also, IMO, I would leave the dagger as it is as far as parts go, as that is how it has been for years. Would you suggest the same?

Re: Question on dagger restoration?
Try a polish called FLITZ, It works wonders on older blades and is not very abrasive to the metal or original finish. Its at most Lowes or Home Depots and Walmarts.

AZPhil, would FLITZ work on the scabbard as well, or just the blade?

I agree with Phil, either Flitz or Autosol will work. If you are using it on plastic be sure to NOT use a power polisher or buffer as the speed will create too much heat.

Appreciate that Ralph, I will let my friend know!

Re: Question on dagger restoration?
Dramos be careful how much Flitz you apply to the scabbard,, if overly done you may wear away the silvered finish and expose the brass beneath. Perform this process sparingly.
Renwax is only a protectant and not a cleaner,, and should be applied once a final cleaning or restoration is finished.
