Nice sword,

I find brass brush leaves a golden colour on the metal after cleaning off red rust
what i generally do is clean with brass brush and then do a very gentle clean with 0000 wire wool after to remove the brass golden colour.

Then I seal with wax, either renaissance or furniture depending on size of the job.

Regards

Ken
