Thank you all for your replies! Sand is still used to clean antique and new weapons in northern india. its a traditional method of Sikhs.. i will try the coke trick and maybe try to simple etch which is a long a long time away.

There is an alternate rust removal method which seems to work. Rust removal using electrolysis.

Salaams AkaaliSingh Ah! so sorry I hope you didn't mind my throw away comment ... Well that is interesting and I imagine the final result would be very fine... There's plenty of sand around here ... I should give it a try.
