I bought a Ross bayonet model 1907 made in dec 1916 in prety bad condition. As you can see on the picture, the blade as been sharpened 20 years ago by the young brother of the seller (awfull). Also, the guard has been painted black with appear to be metal paint.
The same paint has been applied to the scabbard, that turned to be a Swissicon Schmidt-Rubin model 1918. The two of them were bought in the 50s in a surp shop in Montreal.

How could I remove the paint without further damaging the metal?
