Hello Naga82,

maybe try carefully to remove the green paint. Try very fine steel wool, I think this will work, repolish the handle with some sort fine grind polish and oil the wooden or horn hilt. The sword would win already by this. Are all parts of the handle free from play?

Regards,
Detlef

It could be that this the lines from a pamor tambal.

But this would be only clear when you polish and etch the blade.
