Rust, preventing and cleaning
Lord Dane:

Also could be an excuse for having something from an older time period in a later one. We should have a tutorial on antiquing.

That process is called "oxidation" commonly known amongst armor wearing folks as "RUST". ;D

Pee on it, and leave it outside for a while.
I'm kidding.
Actually, not kidding.
Sir William:
Pee on it? I was gonna say to bury it in the yard for a year then dig it back up. Of course, I wouldn't do it to an Albion. Now that I think on it, I recall Sir Edward's Albion Knight having a nice bit of patina on the hilt components as well as the blade...you should ask him how he did that.
Sir Edward:
That came from displaying it on a wall-rack without re-oiling for quite some time. :)
Sir Brian:
You can get the same effect if you keep sweaty fighting gear in your sword bag as well. ;)
