Ok. I have recently acquired an old family heirloom, a sword dating from late 1700's. The sword's blade is embossed but it has acquired some awful stains of rust. The hilt is made of embossed brass, but it has lost its shine and has gained a green coloration. The sword sheath is a complete mess, made of leather and brass - the brass also has that green coloration and the leather is gaining a backish color and leaving black dust on your hands. I would really like to restore this heirloom, I can't afford professional work. I would really appreciate any tips/help given.
Thank you all for your time
