It makes for a pleasing finish. Iron and steel were valuable and I can only imagine it's rare to find a damaged sword.

Of course you are right regerading the frame / stand. On the other hand: also on a stand one can only see one side. Maybe IŽll do both and change from time to time
I will show you images, once it is done.
The corrusion seems different on the images. It is old rust / patina, which was partly remvoved. There is no new rust, even if it appears so on the images.
@ Lee: Thank you for your example. Can you tell what is written on the blade?
Kind regards
