I am thinking of buying this army dagger as a project.

The blade is nice Smile and bright but it has been stored badly for a long time. Frown

The scabbard shows potential where the top has
been protected by the crossguard.

The crossguard and ferrule look caked in dirt and rust? The hanger rings are in a similar condition.

Do you think it would clean up OK? If so, what would you recommend?

I saw a rough looking navy dagger being soaked somewhere on the forum and it came out really bright and the pommel also looked good too.

Thanks.
