Close up
There is a 1920? photo of a chap with a similar knife held in his belt in the book "De fer et de fierte", the one of interest to you, which is always nice to see as a collector. Here are some more pictures of both. You will understand that the cleaning is still fresh, it can take a few years before it mellows but rust must not get too hard a grip on your treasures. On the large blade it is possible to see the side of the blade to be worked on last, as the marks of the anvil stone are clearly visible on the reverse.
