It is a while since I last used this method but seem to remember that the metal came up quite clean, so it is likely that patina could be removed, BUT the rust on your blade looks quite thick so what do you class as "patina"? Stu |

I know that your main interest is the blade, but why did you never describe the hilt?

Hi Jens
No reason, I am a beginner in this sort of study and do not really know what to talk about I just took the hilt as a tulwar handle, with some silvering Is there anything else to be discerned Jim suggested it is Rajasthan in type from 19 th century. Do you want any more photographs to help with any identification. Cheers Ken |
