**imperator** · 11-23-2010, 07:16 PM

Hi Gentlemen,

I'm working on this Wade these days, so i show you the "work in progress".

I will keep it "all original"

The blade (in 8/8) after the first polishing :

And the scales, after 48h of "re-hydration"..ready to be polished :

Thanks for your attention Gentlemen

Looking great! What did you do to rehydrate

**imperator** · 11-23-2010, 10:17 PM

I use a warm (not hot) mixture of : linseed oil; olive oil; and oil of mineral jelly (i'm not sur of the translate, in french it's "vaseline oil" ) and other "secret" stuffs

What makes the scales look silver?
Nice job on the blade, and good pics too.

Sometimes the old horn is like that. I had some others W&B, around 1830/40, with this same effect..

But i don't know why, maybe a kind of patina..
