Hello,
Thank you all,
specially Jim for all your precious informations

,

I wanted to show you the sword ''cleaned'' a little (sorry for the late answer !)
I didn't like the way it was kept before:
It was to shiny on some parts and a lot of rust deposit on other + scratches of big grain sandpaper on the blade...
I just made it more homogeneous using sand paper 400 to 1000 with WD40,
( and a lot of patience

I think it's better, in respect to this nice old weapon !!
I'll have to find someone for make a new scabbard

Your blade tip photo makes me wonder if an acid etch would bring out a pattern in the steel? If not it does not take much to reverse the look.
