Swords & Armour - Restoration

Recommended Posts

My in-laws are moving house and having a clear out.  We have ‘inherited’ a couple of swords, a helmet and a shield that all came from Persia when the great grandparents lived there some 100 years back.  I’d love to clean them up a bit but don’t want to damage them.  Any suggestions on how to clean them up,would be appreciated.  The metal almost feels like it has a galvanised coat at the moment.  We’ve done a little bit of research and the scimitar could be quite old,, but, we’re not sure if they are authentic pieces or replicas yet.
