    Default Palmera Restoration.

    Palmera restoration just finished along with a vintage Japanese and Iberia, I'll be posting back out tomorrow on their way to Switzerland.

    The blade looks superb.

    I see the engraving on the tang has disappeared, did you regrind at all?

    No regrind the etching was incredibly faint and light just came off after one polish I wish it was stamped like the Filarmonica's.

    Man
    If I had just a touch of your skill & a big chunk of patience maybe my own attempts at restoration would be worth looking at
    Great job on that .
    Cheers Paul.
