Thank you for your message,
I will post pictures of the blade 🤞, first find the thin steel ruler. For the hilt has someone a ''magical trick'' for remove oxydation without sanding... Here it is almost black , 19th century item ? and I wonder if baking soda and a toothbrush can solve the problem... |

To clean the brass use a soft brass brush and fine steel wool and/or a brass polish. Best Regards Marc |

You can get a 1m thin steel ruler from amazon that will be flexible enough as you work carefully, pull the sword as you go. It might release well before you are half way down.

My first recommendation is don't be in a hurry and force the removal.
Next, I like Pecards Antique Leather dressing; saturate the outside of the scabbard on both sides and when that is absorbed, reapply. Use an eyedropper and apply WD40 or a similar lubricant on the upright blade on both sides and let it drip down on the inside of the scabbard; do this repeatedly and slowly over days gently trying to work the blade out while continually reapplying the lubricant. More times than not you will get a successful result. |

Kroil penetrates threads on pipe and bolts more effectively than WD-40, though it is considerably more expensive. I do not know if better penetration is an advantage in this enterprise.

Hello dear members,
I finally got it ! and cleaned it Sadly not the graal or excalibur, 😐 The blade is unsharped ans local made of poor quality I guess. It fits to just in the scabbard that's why it was trapped when all rusty ! I hesitate to sharp the edges so it can fit better in. A DECORATIVE ITEM , FOR TOURIST EXPORT OR A PARADE. PRESTIGE'' SWORD ? I DON'T EVEN THINK IT IS NIGERIAN ?? |
