Hello and congratulations for your aquisition!

1. The blade needs a good polish and etching (please check out my thread entitled "Restauration of antique oriental Damascus").

2. For the leather scabbards I generally use Renaissance Wax, but if it is particularly dry and cracked you may want to try the Pecard wax for restauration of antique leather.

Regards,

Marius
