Restoration Rusty Rapier

Hello folks! Today I want to show a new restoration! I found this broken old rusty rapier at a flea market (now you know what they look like). I have not restored the swords up to this point, and it will be interesting for me and for you. Well, let’s proceed to the restoration. 0:00 Review 0:30 Disassembly 2:05 Rust remover 3:23 Sanding and cleaning 4:07 Priming 4:14 Cleaning rubber part 4:47 Cleaning steel ferrule 5:11 Prepare for painting 5:59 Restore wood handle 7:58 Paiting 9:16 Handle parts and blade 9:54 Fitting details 11:37 Assembling rapier 11:58 Final review 12:29 Test My first duty was to take the handle apart. I put the steel parts in the rust removal liquid. After washing, dried and applied a layer of anti-rust. The remnants of paint and patina were removed with a wire iron brush. It makes no sense to restore a broken blade because the object is hardened, and to make a tempered, then re-brew it with electric welding will not work
