I used a tooth brush and dish soap, then some small amount (all I had) nu finish silver polish , rubbed it on with my fingers,,,, I then scrubbed it with a S.O.S. sponge, the rust on the blade worked itself into a nice rouge paste, red the first time then brown, I washed it with soap after then water then dried it, i then repeated the process for good measure this time with a rag not the sos pad, dried it again, applied vinegar and dried it quickly, didn't treat it long at all with the vinegar, I didn't have any proper wax, I just rubbed it with a tea candle and polished it like a pair of boots.

I read about using vinegar, actually someone recommended it on my Moro sword,,, but I found it was drying up leaving stains
(as for the pommel, I don't even want to remove the cobwebs)
