As of late I hate the way the guard looks on my Sword of Ibelin, would like it to be more shiny. I have read some about polishing and feel as though it would be a somewhat simple task however, I was wondering if it would mess up some of the lines on the guard and pommel. Also if anyone has any special techniques they use and are willing to share would be greatly appreciated as I am afraid of screwing it up.
