Identifying/Conserving a Kaskara from the late 60s or earlier

[Marc M.]

Welcome, nice kaskara, the blade and engravings seem to me to be locally made and as Ed said well used. Rust removal can be done in a number of ways, steel wool, scotch brite and sandpaper wet or dry to be used depending on the resutment you desire. Afterwards oil lightly or use a mikrocrystalline wax, this wax gives a dry harder coat after drying. Leather can be treated with any leather nourishing product.
