And so it begins....

Picked up 4 vintage straights today, and have one from a member on another forum, and I started the restoration.

2 swedes, 2 brits, and one that could be either.

Scales are shot on two, but one can be modified to be usable.

Started out with scrubbing bubbles to get what gunk was on them off, then hit with the Dremel, white rouge and a felt wheel.

I am quite lucky with these purchases, only one has significant rust/pitting, but each has a few pits.

Not going to break my back sanding them out, as I want to use these, not work on them.

And the two in best overall shape, the Bengall and the CV Heljestrand
