Dear Alan,
Many thanks! More questions: - How does one recognize hilt material as "shell"? I am mostly into Islamic ( broadly speaking) swords and have never seen shell handle. Any specific features I should be looking for? How to clean it properly? - Cleaning the blades. Even I understand that sandpaper is an absolute no-no :-) Would toothbrush with WD-40 be sufficient? How to stain them afterwards? Not arsenic, I hope? - Based on what you see ( or any new pics, if needed), the condition of the blades, styles etc, any wild guess how old they might be?
