Thread: 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

Before Restoration Photos

(above photo was the online photo, the rest were taken by me)





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
