Ariel,
I would try to ask Ann Feuerbach, as I think she may know something about it. See the memberlist. She participated in an excavation at Merv, where they excavated a sword from the 9th century, amongst other things. Jens |

Hello Ariel, You will recall the interesting thread http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread...n+conservation where there was an almost eaten away sword that to a large extent was resuscitated...That used a similar technique using tannin and a kiln... The results were not finally posted as I recall...

Ariel, look at this thread:
http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread...ghlight=tannin If I were you I would start by soaking the blade in distilled water for as long as necessary (could take weeks and many gallons) to make sure you get rid of any salt particles that will otherwise eventually destroy the blade. Regards, Teodor |
