Yes, Herman, the guards have been cleaned or polished in the 25-35 years or so. The scabbard fittings too, I expect.

And the owner has put shoe polish or wax on the leather of the hanger, or at least he should have done.

As to the grips, I have seen many shades from brown to jet black on SS daggers. Depends on the original color of the wood or the dye used or the wear.
