Restoring a piece like this to make it displayable takes real skill and patience.
This is just beautiful Tom, I love the before and after pics of your restorations as well.

Tom posted a video, once, on how to restore glass pieces. I would not have the patience!
Thank you Buddy!
It is this one below! Stephen Koop is an absolute HERO in glass restoration! He and his colleagues are also nice guys and very helpful!! I think the best in the world at the moment.
The videos are nice to watch, specially when he recreates missing parts out of plastic which fits perfectly in color! This is not easy to do.
Part one and two
Thanks for the videos Tom, very interesting.
Personally, I wish I had the patience to do this type of work.
My teenage daughter has the same problem I do, she can't sit still for more then 10 minutes at a time.
Did you know that Tnet has a 'Restoration Forum', you should post some of your projects here... Restoration Projects

Tom, it is a true gift you have to be able to see through all the rust and corrosion to the original items beauty and make it live again. I hope things go well for you, we can`t afford to lose such talent.
In for updates on leather pouch and broken grenade!
Just amazing looking results Tom.
Ancient pieces like this need to be stabilized and preserved for future generations, otherwise they will eventually become unstable and unrestorable.
When does this piece date from?
Dave
The entire style, the face and the movable Arms dates it to late New Kingdom, ramesside period, 19./20 Dynasty
