Restoring a ww2 rusty K 98 bayonet

This time I wanted to keep the "soul" of the bayonet, I didn't want it to look like new. That's why I didn't restored the blade, but only roughly restored the scabbard.

Wow! I’m pretty surprised how the knife underneath is so clean! Oh and keep up the work, it’s amazing to watch this stuff!

@@sneakapeekinmygarage8586 Nice to have a maker's full name, and not just the three factory code letters.

Лохотрон! Ножны едва поржавели, а клинок - вообще как новый!

Decent simple restoration. You could, perhaps, have given the blade more attention. Adequate, though. A bayonet (one hopes!) is not going to be used as intended...
