Same I guess goes for restored ww2 tanks or airplanes they drop in value ? The point of restoration is to preserve it otherwise in 100 years or so because of rust and humidity etc there would be nothing to restore. But thanks for the comment :)
You did a verry nice job and the result is like new condition. i did not want to miss respect. But collectors pays for ''patina'' not for restored items.
Thanks man but it's just hobby for me I am new to restoration I love to do it I learn every day something new and it was never my intention to sell anything I restore. I do it the way I feel and obviously not every one will like it.
If you look at the bayonet you can tell that it was cared for but time got to it. For something over a hundred years old it was in pretty good shape before restoration. No fake rust just true age. Now it would be a point of pride for anyone to display for you it's a magnificent restoration if your lucky and find the family it belongs to it's a physical piece of family history.
A timeless design done true justice. And never lost its killing edge in 104 years. Just magnificent and fantastic to think of that things journey. Thanks so much for the vid.
Sympathetic cleaning for conservation would have been fine, so no need for a near enough full 'restoration'. It's the stuff of nightmares for collectors. Having said that, you did a reasonable job in approaching the work in your own way, and, it's all part of the learning process. You need encouraging, not berating, as in some of the comments. Keep it up.
One of the better restorations I've seen on youtube, I'm glad you kept it to the more original look over the "customizations" that other restorers say are "reatorations". In my opinion when it comes to these things, these bayonets were made in the hundreds of thousands if not a few million, all the truly collectible bayonets are already in private collections or museums. Like some have said weapons were meant to be maintained, this patina nonsense is just asking for further degradation down the road. Now I do have examples in both states of original find and my restored to factory new just because I reenact and no GI of the era had a rusty or patina equipment, it was brand new. Now to be a 100% restoration you should've hot blued the hilt by dipping the hilt, but that requires way more equipment. The leather would've been a more natural brown as far as I'm aware and turned dark after years of handling and from oils in the skin and other foreign objects. But good job and keep the practice up.
As for the scabbard being natural I've never seen on natural but I could be www wwwrr wwwrong. Lol! I have one that is actually green. Unless it was restored a long time ago I think that's the original color.
Thank you, I will check for any rust to appear regularly better be safe than sorry :) I soaked it in rust removal for almost 48 hrs. so I don't expect a lot but I am still learning so thanks for pointing it out.
Como cuando youtube te recomienda un canal de como restaurar armas XD hasta youtube mismo esta dando una señal de que se acerca la tercera guerra mundial XD 😂😂😂🤔😐 PD: muy buen video ahora me pondre en marcha para mirar todos los videos de tu canal xq se ven interesantes 🙂 Saludos desde Argentina🇦🇷🇦🇷
@@TopGunRestorations The hollow ground tips are shaped in a way that supports and contacts more of the screw slot, as opposed to being wedge shaped on standard screwdrivers that only contact the edges of the slot leaving a likelyhood of camming out of the slot and damage to the screw. It would be worth a look at hollow ground screwdrivers to see if they would help in your work.
Do you know of anywhere i could find replacement parts for the m1917 bayonet? I just recently got one and the crossguard needs replacing and the catch button is gone.
What is with your 'promise to have the bayonet sent to the descendants of the original owner' based on the initials on the scabbard? Seems like a strange thing to claim.
I see a few comments not liking the restoration - ignore them - weapons were meant to be maintained .Rust and discolouration is not something a true restorer would want to retain.Nice job .
Thank you so much I let people express themselves in any way, it all doesn't really matter I did my best and probably it could be done better but I was the one doing it and obviously not everyone will like it. I would love to see how all those haters do the restoration themselves. Not one of those comments suggested to see their video of a proper way to do it. I just let them be lol. At my age I don't worry about things like that I value more important aspects in life :)
Hey thank you for such a nice comment. Is it Krynik or Krynica I am curious because I actually know someone from Krynica lol. I am so glad that my video can make someone happy that's all it matters. My grandfather fought in WW2 but had to survive WW1 as a teenage boy he was also from Poland. I loved to listen to his stories about war time. It's hard to understand it for some people but I have great respect for all those that fought for us. Thanks again it means a lot
@@TopGunRestorations Сокращенное от хуйня. That's not how you treat bayonets that old. Negative comments you don't see, because they know it's useless and rather share your videos in Facebook groups to laugh, or weep over your "restorations". Some people are destroying them with etching, the other ones like this. Howgh.
Value before restoration 200$
After restoration 20$

This hurt my soul. We have a responsibility to conserve history, not "restore" it.
From a collectors pov you just ruined it. It's worth nothing now

Great job on preserving this bayonet! I like the approach you took, it looks closer to the original article!
Thank you very much!
Wow! Great work.
welldone my friend..nice backround too..enjoy restoring.👏👏👏
Thank you
professional work👍
Thank you
Great Job ! Can you please provide the list of products that you used? and how long did you let it soak in those solutions etc ? Thanks!
Thank you, I used product called Evapo-rust I soaked it few time for couple of hours, best one I found to date so far.
I assume that you just used hand/dish soap to clean off the leather ?
Yes that's exactly what I used for leather
@@TopGunRestorations Thanks !
Cool job 👍 And great restoration👍
Thank you
Thank you
I have a similar bayonet and scabbard. I’d like to inquire on some of the techniques used.
Amazing work
Thank you
nice work!
Great job. !!!
Nice job!
Thank you
Amazing work dude, can you do a video on a giant war axe?
Thanks so much, I am actually working on small battle axe now I hope it will be something never seen before :)
Overall very nice work, but you left a little rust on the tang. That could build up under the scales over time.
Thank you, I will check for any rust to appear regularly better be safe than sorry :) I soaked it in rust removal for almost 48 hrs. so I don't expect a lot but I am still learning so thanks for pointing it out.
Very nice 👍
Soaking a 100 year old leather sheath is a mega pig

Question on the screwdriver type, any reason why you didn't use a hollow ground?
I didn't know about hollow ground screwdrivers.

Nice job in bringing it back
Thank you
will it fit on to any modern firearms?
I don't think so but I don't have any way to check it
Nice 👌👍
Thank you! Cheers!
NICE WORK.MY friend.
Thank you always trying to do my best
Do you know of anywhere i could find replacement parts for the m1917 bayonet? I just recently got one and the crossguard needs replacing and the catch button is gone.
Only place I can think of is antique market or ebay. It won't be easy to get just parts for it. Good luck
Great work. Greetings from Warsaw Poland. Alex
Dziękuję bardzo :) pochodzę z Łukowa
Реанимировал нормуль ,но все равно всё видно👍
Well done, I wish you success on finding the Family of ownership.
Thanks so much
Looks Great....but why not refinish the wooden hand grips??
Those were in great shape and I wanted to leave something untouched

Ножны убил. Кожу надо было лечить глицерином и т. П. А он намочил и покрасил совершенно не подходящей дрянью... Их аж все перекосило....
Quelle massacre... C'etait une pièce d'histoire dans son jus avant...
da hast dir so viel mühe gegeben und dann schraubst du die griffschallen wieder drauf ohne sie aufzuarbeiten
I also think of the memories forging departments made producing hundreds of thousands of these.

Хорошая работа, можно сказать прекрасная. Только музыка очень плохая, невозможно слушать. Пришлось выключить звук. А так 👍🏻
no music...
A WWI Bayonet with RN, possibly it belonged to the 63rd Royal Navy infantry division?
I really have no idea, it looks like someone's initial, it's uneven and carved by hand
My great grandfather came from krynik poland to the usa in 1922 at the age of 23.

Looked great before the "restoration". Nothing was restored, of course -- and a whole lot was screwed up.
Да молодец!Если этот штык принадлежал ветерану ,то для его родственников это будет великой памятью об ушедшем предке! 👍
Ugggg. Shouldn't of cold blued it
I really didn't see any other option it's relatively easy to remove bluing with vinegar
@@TopGunRestorations i would of rust blue the handle and left the blade.
Blade was left untouched after cleaning
I appreciate all comments I am still learning so thank you for all your input
@@TopGunRestorations check out ua-cam.com/video/O4QOcRTZv2Q/v-deo.html. Also on his channel watch conservation 101
Why not keep it original?
If I wanted something new, I would buy off Amazon.
I like old vintage things restored as close as possible to their original condition.
Destroyed historical value.
Oh well in my opinion I preserved but thanks for you input though.
Wait for Winchester M1897 restoration😏
Can't wait to see it
🙋💁💖
The handle looks rough🤔
It's actually very smooth which surprised me as well that's why I left it untouched.
@@TopGunRestorations fair enough👍
all the bluing is now gone now it will rust away good job ruining it
Bayonet is stored in sealed acrylic box with all the air pumped out.
Хня...
Sorry no idea what that means, I used to speak Russian but that was almost 40 years ago lol
Согласен.
