The sword came to me very rusted and tarnished, with a few parts missing. I sanded the blade down as best I could, clear coated it to prevent rust and refinished the wood handle. Then, I polished the brass to a very high shine by first soaking in apple cider vinegar, then polishing with flitz and a dremel tool with a felt Bob. I reassembled with some pins I made and clear coated the whole sword once more to prolong the shine. Looks pretty good for a cheap repro.
