Hello Cerjak,

I can't say something regarding the blade, I need to see better pictures. But with your new pictures from the scabbard and the hilt I see a lot of dirt which I would carefully remove, the scabbard I would clean with 000 steel wool and give it some oil (I personally use linseed oil).
The hilt shows as well a lot of dirt in the cavities, I would give it a bath in oil to soften the dirt and after this brush it with a hard toothbrush, repeat it until all dirt is gone. Both, scabbard and hilt can get polished after this with a soft cloth.
And I would look for a better fitting pendokok.
Regards,
Detlef
