Hi all,

I have a prison official's eagle pommel sword and all the plating has peeled and looks nasty. Can this be repaired? What is the best way to proceed to restore a pice like this? Does anyone know of a restorer that may take on this job?

Thanks for your help.

If the sword hilt is aluminum, an industrial plater can do it. If it is anything else, just about anyone can do it

Thanks Vern,

The hilt seems to be some sort of pot metal.

Thanks
