Hi.
Here's my latest restoration project- Thiers Issard Pierre Thier Limited Edition (TIPTLE).
I must say that it was in pretty bad condition. Watermarks and very odd scratches on the blade (like someone would hone it on a stone with very heavy slurry). Luckily the blade cleaned up nicely, it's not perfect but i wanted to save that beautiful etching and couldn't do anything with scratches and watermarks in that "area".
I've managed not to destroy original, horn scales

Anyway here's some photos:

After:

Wonderful job Maciek.

I really like the contrast between the really shiny blade and the etching and the shoulders.
