I picked up this beat up Commando. I didnt know what it was when I bought it. And I'd like to give a special Thanks to @gunsil for identifying it for me and giving me a history lesson on it.
The double picture is the before shot. All other pics are after. The before pic really doesn't show how bad it was. The edge was sharpened with a course file very poorly I might add and the spine had been beat on with something metal.
I buffed it out with a tool polisher and rehydrated the leather with some neatsfoot oil. Then gave it a convexed edge and got rid of the file marks.
