I picked up a couple of Romanian bayonets. The metal scabards have surface rust in a couple of places. I was thinking about sand blasting these down and refinishing them.

Anyone know what the original finish was?

From my reading there is mention about a special non-conductive finish put on the scabards.

Why blast them? If they are not to bad just strip them, and wire brush them and selectively work on the rusted areas. I have seen them painted, and parked.
