I agree with Dave -probably overcleaned with naval jelly(which is a mixture of phosphoric acids) which leave a layer of black iron phosphate on the blade (in the case of the crossguards, copper phosphate)very difficult to repair from this state-best to just accept it as is.The scabbard may not have been injured to the same extent.Mike
