I have a chance to pick up a scabbard for a M89 saber. The photos show some rust. Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning the inside of the scabbard? I figure that Hoppes will remove any active rust, but how do you remove the Hoppes?
A family photo I got from a relative a few years ago. I included an Austrian Tapferkeitsmedaille in the grouping like the one he is wearing in the photo. From his "pips" I believe he was a Zugsfuehrer.

Looking to make a lance, as close to the M1893 as possible.
IMA carried repros of these for a while, but they are out and not planning on getting more. Any suggestions would be welcome.
