I'm not the guy you're talking about, but here is a link to my gallery with the pics: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=26718 For those of you who can't wait for moderation, here are the deep links: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/wlister/CrystalSword/crystalsword.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/wlister/CrystalSword/crystalsword1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/wlister/CrystalSword/crystalsword2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/wlister/CrystalSword/crystalsword3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/wlister/CrystalSword/crystalsword4.jpg Anyone wanting to try this should soak the sword in brasso for an hour or so. White marks on the blade happen when you rub too hard or bend the blade. By soaking, the brasso loosens a bit, this might keep the white marks off the blade. William
