to not restore

[dano1917]

Here is an early WWI French F1 that came today. This is one when I look at it I really like what I see and will attempt no restoration on it. It has FA deeply incussed on both sides of the body..Dano

Hi Dano,
Nice one.
perhaps just a few coats of beeswax polish to keep the rust at bay?

equipment gets 2nd chance

Thankyou kindly John and Rick. With you 2 guys instructing me i've decided to hang onto the old Olympus and take back every foul word I had to say about the camera in the past. It was operator error rather than equipment problems. You guys got me guided to getting the details to show much better. Of course this grenade is what I would call photogenic and that helps also...Dano
