Restoration of Antique Royalist Smallsword - National Guard

Hi! Today antique restoration of smallsword. This is an old item — an antique Royalist officer’s rapier. The piece was also purchased in France. Its condition is average. There is rust, quite deep marks on the blade, patina, dirt, the scabbard is missing, one detail is missing, and the grip wrapping is gone. But overall, the rapier is preserved well. The tip is slightly broken. And now I am restoring all of this. So, we have a rapier from the early 19th century.
