here's the dilemma; the easiest way would be to remove the handle, but not knowing the extent of degradation, it would be a bit of a gamble. Using acid would be the safest route, but I reckon it would take a very long time. I'm gonna try something in between. In the meantime, I'd prolly work on the scabbard first.
I'm quite concern about the filework on this. I'm kinda hoping it's all buried in that rust...
