Thread: First go at a restoration

Got this Crown & Sword off ebay for a good price. Scales are good, sans a little polish. The blade only has a little rust on the tang around the pin and in the corner of the stabilizer.

Since I'm doing it all by hand I was thinking of starting by sanding with a higher grit, say 400? Then going up from there. Give it a hand polish and then send it out to be honed. Or Maybe give it a go myself if I get the urge to purchase a Norton combo lol.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated! I lurk around the workshop religiously, checking out what people are restoring and sucking up as much info as I can. Many awesome thread reads and many awesome blade restores. Maybe I can add to it with this one!
