Bronzo no more

Recommended Posts

This started life as a Bronzo light which got a couple of deep scratches revealing the steel underneath.

stripped the bronze off polished out all deep scratches,looking for a vintage look and put it on a soft leather rep strap.

i think it looks quite good,do you?

I agree it looks quite good.  I actually like it better now than when it was bronzed.

Genius you are right I considered this sometime ago but didn’t have the balls to try it but as it has just sat in the box I thought I had nothing to lose.BTW once I decided what to do and how to do it there was only an hours work in it.
