Invicta 13/16 original restore
Hey everyone,
This one is my first completed restore for quite a while now and it has been sitting around half done for just as long, but I finally got it done. I'm very pleased with the results and I hope you all like it!
Before
After
And here is my new stone that it's sitting on. I won't say what it is because I'm not sure if it's out so to speak or if I can say anything about it...It is awesome though!

I still haven't really got a set routine worked out. This one was hand sanded the whole way and then some metal polish. It was then left oiled for about the last 6 months while waiting for pin stock and the time.

In that time, the worst happened, it got some spiteful areas of rust all along the was shiny and pit free spine. So it went back to 1k wet n dry and then got buffed on a few different compounds and then polished and that was it. I really like the results!
