![]() Just clean (in this case) with simple steelwool 000 and 00 and some oil like WD40 or ballistol. Duccio, the yellow is probably varnish? Wire seems aluminium. |

![]() Nice sword! I agree it's probably a commemorative date. I have a similar one, dated 1810, with reference to sultan Muhammad al-Fadl, who indeed reigned between ca. 1801 and 1838. |

![]() A great 18th century shamshir! Congrats! Did you check the handle/translucency? Could be rhino.. Gold inlay, often verses of the Quran or poetry, probably done later (Syria?). |

![]() Indeed from the KONDA or neigboring tribes in Congo. I agree it isn't very old, relatively weak blade which is not forged. Might be from around 1950, but probably slightly younger. |

![]() Seems old, might well be a Koto sword (1600 or older). Koshirae are of decent quality as far I can see. |
