Hi guys,

I recently purchased a Swissicon 1899 pattern bayonet to compliment my 1911 long rifle, however there is a modest amount of rust on the part of the grip that was not protected by the scabbard.

Short of taking a polishing wheel to this I would like to try the electrolysis method demonstrated before on this forum, however I have a question. The grip panels on this bayonet are riveted in place and I would prefer not to have to drill out and replace the rivets, will putting the bayonet in the electrolysis tank with the grip panels still in place damage them somehow? I would think not since they are wood and non conductive, but I figured I might ask here.
