what i generally do is clean with brass brush and then do a very gentle clean with 0000 wire wool after to remove the brass golden colour.

Then I seal with wax, either renaissance or furniture depending on size of the job.

good suggestion Ken .

Thank you for your suggestions!

Will try brushing off the rust. See how it works out.

No comments about the sword?!

My guess would be Scottish, late 18th century, but I am not very knowledgeable .

i would say your guess is pretty close - Scottish mid-late 18th century and middle quality. I assume that there are no marks on blade or hilt to help identify it. But a nice sword to own.

Thank you Neil! Your guess is right, no maker marks.

This may well be Scottish, but made in the early 19th century.
