What would you suggest to do and how in terms of TLC?

Hello André,

The handle I would polish with linseed oil, the wood looks very dry. The oil preserves the wood also for cracking. The wood will get a little bit darker but will look much better. The metal, blade, ferrule and guard I would rub with steel wool to remove the initial rust.
To conserve all you can add with a soft cloth antique wax.

Best regards,
Detlef
