I have my dads WWII M1 Garand bayonet.
Still in good condition, no rust - no pitting, but what the antique crowd would call a patina on the metal surface.
Basically a trending toward the metal darkening from years of sitting around not being used.
My question, would you clean it up, make it "like new" or leave it just as it is now.
One of these days, I'm determined to get my own M1 so I can see it where it needs to be, on the working end of a rifle like it has been so many years ago.
Thanks
