Keris restoration

Hi all,

i've got a few month ago a old keris, red rusty und without hilt and sheath. hilt and sheath is no the problem, i can make itself. here i read the tipps for etching the blade, and the result is not so bad, but how can i make the contrast better? the blade is black, ok, now it would good to make the bright lines brighter. how.
I sharp and polish the blade, because the rust have makes a lot of holes in it, and i think, the blade is a good experiment thing.

and, perhaps anyone can help me to determine the blade, i haven't a lot of know to do this. the blade is here without the ganja.
thanks a lot for helping.
