Restoring Macgregor Tourney blade irons

[Parmo]

Morning All,
I was clearing the outhouse and found a set of MacGregor Tourney blade irons in a bad state and the thought crossed my mind to restore them. I know the grips need to be fully replaced and there are signs of rust on the stafts which I think can be removed, so not all that bleak.

Does anyone have any advice of restoring clubs?

What condition are the heads in, Parmo? All the rest is easy to replace, but bringing the heads back to life can be costly.

The heads look pretty good tbh, I think they could do witgh been grinded a little and polished. I was thinking of having them in chrome with the lettering thats engraved red. Just been looking at new shafts but I am not sure of the size at the bottom. Might try and sort the shafts myself and get the regripped, will ask the pro today.

Parmo, if I say so myself I am a bit of a master at getting older iron heads looking new and the secret is wet and dry paper.

Start of with a coarse 600 or 800 and get all the pitting out and remove all the rust, scuffs and marks. Once you are happy with the initial results then you move onto a finer 1200 or 1400 for an amazing satin finish.
