I'm about to buy a very cheap lorica segmentata second hand. Cheap because it is .. err .. orange - with rust. I'm trusting that elbow grease can get this armour back to a nice satin finish. But what's a) the best way, and b) the most historically accurate way, to get this thick layer of rust off???<br>
<br>
I might be able to get this seggie for as little as £50 (compared to £400 for new) but I'll need to work on it!! <p></p><i></i>
