afternoon all .. question about us m1902 sword picked up one few days ago cheap the blade is really nice the maker is ( colonial ) by n.s meyer inc. my question is the scabbard it still has plating on one side but the other side is rusted off once rust is removed what best to do ? paint all scabbard flat black or gloss black ? got to do something with it ? not leaving it half and half also sword was real hard pulling it out of the scabbard once out the sword was not bent or was the scabbard but at the bottom of the scabbard there was a small round hole almost a drain hole ? then tried to stick a thin wire in the hole and finally got thru more than half way up the scabbard now wondering if there is something stuck in there ? I do not believe the sword had wood pieces in there possibly just try and clean it out best I can ?thanks for any help you can give me bill .... p.s my other m1902 sword does no have a drain hole like some other swords do !
