Sorry for not mentioning that.

Michael,
You have been of tremendous help. Sorry for all of my questions, but me and my friend are new to this field, as our collections tend to be of mostly 19th century items.
I was just wondering, for all the manipulations, should the seax be submerged blade down into the distilled water/tannin solution with the hilt left sticking out of the container, or is it safe to submerge the hilt as well? I am afraid disattaching blade and hilt is impossible.
Thank you,
Teodor
