First Restoration Attempt – T.R. Cadman & Sons Sheffield England - Bengall
Well, i found this online in an antiques store near me and purchased it for $20 in the hope to get some experience with restoration.
Its a 'T.R. Cadman & Sons Sheffield England' and on the other side of the blade it has 'Bengall'
I don't know anything about this blade so maybe someone will beable to help with that, tell me what they are like and if its worth the $20
There was a fair bit of staining, rust and scratching on the scales

The Below photo is after the restoration, in the top left corner of the blade\spine it looks like a mark on the blade - its actual my reflection lol and not a scratch

I polished the scales with a very fine 'car cut and polish' and I managed to get all the scratching out of the scales and made them a slightly cream\yellow color rather then the plain yellow, I sanded the blade and buffed it with a dremel and got 99% of the rust and stains off it, I honed and stropped the blade and give the blade a little test shave - all seems to be good
I just need to find some pins and put it back together :D
