WW1 - Restoration of bayonet, turning a rusty relic into a piece of history

[@Moroni108]

That was such an outstanding video. Not only was it awesome and historic to see such a piece brought back to life, but "French Restore" has demonstrated a very entertaining and high level of video production. I loved the music and the ending of this video, introducing the next mission was iconic!! Thank you Sir!! great video my friend!

Thank you for this amazing comment! It gives me great pleasure! I try to mix KZbin and cinema which are both my passions. I'm glad you noticed that by the way!🗡️

I carried bayonets for the M1 Garand and the M14 Rifle and the 12- gauge pump shotgun. While serving in the US Army infantry. mostly we used them to help us open C rations. and cut roots while digging foxholes.

[@davidhomen6204]

You just took all of the value out of the Bayonet it was painful to watch.😢 If you want to drill Bayonet, now you got one. If you want to restore, you could have lightly Bead blasted and Parkerized Like factoring😊 I love hearing blood on the risers, though👍

I had that same bayonet when I was a kid, I bought it from an antique store in Connecticut when I was 12. That's was 50 years ago. Lol

[@paulrward]

This bayonet is NOT an M1917 bayonet, which was used for the M1917 Enfield, it is an M1905 Bayonet that was used on the M1903 Springfield Rifle, as well as the later M1 Garand Rifle. Still, a nice restoration.

[@JSNRestoration]

Thanks !!

[@johnvaluk1401]

Restore? Cleaned and polished not a military finish. Originally blued and or parkerized.

[@JSNRestoration]

Thanks ! :)

[@Baracudda]

Very nice work. I wouldn't have burnished but that's a personal choice. It looks good regardless.👍

[@JSNRestoration]

Thank you.🙂

[@georgebenta3435]

I have seen lots of relic condition bayonets with decades of neglect, this bayonet is not in a relic condition. I have the impression that this bayonet had been deliberately rusted recently. There are signs at the start of the video that the quality of the bayonet is still very good and the rusting is uneven. I find this kind of restorations silly because they just sand and buff the metal shiny and call it restoration.

[@JSNRestoration]

It is indeed a restoration, my friend, I invite you to review its definition!

[@vicv7075]

@@JSNRestorationI suggest you do the same. Restoring is to return it to its original state. You polished, sharpened and over all bastardized that bayonet at best.

[@TheWyoCoyote]

It is a model 1905 Springfield Armory made in 1917 so it could have originally had a shiny blade, but hey began bluing and Parkerizing in 1917. Pre 1917 the blades where raw and they began just dip bluing the old production raw blades. Rock Island and Springfield made the 1905's and Winchester made some bayonets for the 1917 Enfield. Looks nice and glad you restored it. I do not have an SA yet, but I have a nice 1909 RIA, and a mediocre Remington 1917 Enfield. They are expensive to collect.

Restaurar no es lo mismo que renovar. Al realizar una restauración es primordial conservar lo que los restauradores llamamos "pátina", ya que en ella reside una gran parte del valor histórico de la pieza. Lamentablemente en este caso la pátina ha sido retirada completamente.

[@andyc750]

you haven't turned a rusty relic into a piece of history, you have removed all traces of it's history and story by doing that amount of work to it, to restore it you should just clean it and make it functional, and it should have a blued finish or be parkerised so as it doesn't shine and give away the position or attract attention to the soldier wielding it, also by sharpening it you have changed it, new they were not sharp and the army didn't expect them to be as they were a stabbing weapon, having said that some were sharpened by the troops carrying them but by sharpening it you have changed it and removed part of it's story and authentic history, yes you have done a good job of the work you have put in but it isn't the right way to do it, suggest a bit of research before working on historic articles as there are many that destroy them on the net and few who restore them properly

You dont sharpen a Bayonet. So it doesnt get stuck in bone when you use it. It´s a weapon, not a knife.

[@laurentdevaux5617]

Splendid job indeed. Just two remarks if I may : there is no need to sharpen the bayonet, it's not a knife made for cutting, it's above all a thrusting weapon. You should also have blued the handle of the bayonet, the 1905 had this kind of finish, though from 1917 onwards many were totally blued. Next job for you, make a WW1 scabbard... not easy but feasible. When I found my first 1905, I made one just like the original, in wood covered with leather, covered then by a canvas sheath. Try and make us see what you did !

What did the SA stand for?

[@martkbanjoboy8853]

The disadvantage of electrolysis for rust removal - it is very directional. The advantage - as good an excuse as any to obtain a laboratory power supply unit.

[@666toysoldier]

An ordinary battery charger can be used.

[@TheWyoCoyote]

I use a 12V battery charger, and was surprised he took a wire wheel to it after electrolysis. That's why I use it so I don't abrade any metal. I did an entire 1888 German Commission rifle that the bolt was completely rusted solid, and red with rust. After about 6 hours I opened the bolt by hand and pulled every screw. Its the way to go.

Only parade bayonets are suppose to be shiny. After polishing it, were it then blued, would have made the bluing look nice and rich.

While your restoration is fairly good, the way you flip and toss things around, and snap your fingers, is childish and embarrassing. This silly behavior, sharpening the bayonet, and not completely bluing it, makes it difficult to take you seriously as a restorer.

I don't know if it's the exact same model because I believe his was made closer to 1903 or something I know I will be doing more research Watching this video. I had people say don't Oh I should shut up Restore it, it will loose value. I don't know What to do but Use it as a display piece In a shadow box containing the flag and cartridges from Grandfathers funeral and migrants on the same sides funeral. My son's being at his dull And tarnished. The leather scabbard Is dried out Discolored And had to be super glue as the tip Started to Rip while returning the sword to its sheath.

I mean yeah, it looks good but it's an historically unaccuracy. Bayonets were not sharpened since their main use was stabbing. Also That shine reflection you put on it is not how bayonets looked back then since they were all blued to reduce sunshine reflection so that soldiers were not so exposed to the enemies (understand it as some sort of camouflage if that makes sense). In general, you made such a nice job! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
