Fellows, it's not paint. Wish it was.

I put some paint remover on it, no joy. got a creepy feeling, and tried some bluing solution...........and it turned colour.
Tried some 600 grade wet 'n' dry, and it is just steel.

Ward,
How do you know it's WW2?
The remains of the koftgari on the hilt are heavier and better quality than I have on the others. and to me it seems earlier, though I am No expert!

Does not the blade show a folded pattern?

Will send more pics ASAP.

Thank you for all comments,

R.
