Sorry, I posted this in "Restoration" and do not know how to move it.
A friend of mine sold this to me for $20. He picked it up 20 or so years ago in Germany and tried it once and scared himself. There is some pitting, corrosion, and the edge is a bit rough. (see pics) I'm looking for some help.
1. Was this a good deal for $20?
2. Appx. age? I read in another forum that Redheads with the red badge may be a bit older.
3. I would like to get this cleaned up and sharpened. Any restoration recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
