In this photo they don't look all that bad. The whole surface is disfigured by patches of corrosion. In my experience in restoring antique swords, a proper polish will make these fullers look real crisp again. Believe me, I've seen worse on ethnographic weapons of all sorts, when they are sloppily cut to begin with, it's often a lost cause to fix them because too much metal has to be remove to adjust depth and contour.
