Should I or Shouldn't I ???

Post by XBMX »

I just got in this fabulous Tang Stamped Hubertus Springer and I'm torn as what to do. My intent was to sell but it's Soooo original I'm on the fence. Not being able to post better quality pictures hurts but you'll get the idea. I'd love to polish it but I don't want to touch the pitina. Increditable that at 60plus years old The blade and edge are perfect, even shinny inside the interior pocket. Give me some recommendations/value estimates will really appreciate it. Cheers Rick

If you want to sell it don't touch it. If you to keep it and aren't worried about devalueing it do what you want with it. It belongs to you, do what you want.

A little Simichrome polish won't hurt a thing.
Make sure you get all the polish off the knife and out of the crevices.

I would keep it and leave it as is. I think that way tells a better story
