Hi! Today, the restoration of the antique Talwar. The talwar is an Indian saber. This item is about the middle of the 19th century (1830-1860). The condition is not bad, but there is a lot of rust and a very careful restoration is required. I'm starting to restore the item. This subject is not mine.

First of all, I used vinegar to make the rust softer and more pliable. A day later, I used baking soda and cleaning agent to remove the top layer of rust. Next, I used a special cleansing mild remedy and a day later I got a good effect.

The next step was the final cleaning of the blade and handle from rust using soda, cleaning agent and charcoal. After that, I used velvet paper and a piece of genuine leather. At the end of the process, I wiped the blade well with oil and a soft cloth.

I cleaned the handle of the saber with a soft iron brush, after cleaning I covered the iron handle with a protective layer to preserve the remaining rust.
I made the scabbard of the saber out of wood, it took a lot of time because of the large bend of the Talwar. I glued the scabbard with red velvet and made a suspension (although more often the saber was worn without a suspension).
And of course, I conducted a test of a non-sharpened saber. Don't forget to share this video.

Sincerely, Alex. Thanks for attention!
Good luck and health to everyone! With best wishes, Alex!
