Restoring them would probably cost many times more than they are worth.
As for the cloth I received with it, after some research it probably comes from the province of Lampung and is called a Tapis.
Please don't let the blades in this state, they show red rust, just clean them with WD 40 or oil and 000 steel wool, otherwise you can find them after a few years beyond any restoration!
