Hello Steve,

Glad to greet you.

Not paint,

Is ancient solidified fat that has formed a layer formed of paint.

The previous owner had it as well.

Incomprehensible.

In mekugi-ana look better grease (fat) residues.

A greeting.

Thanks Steven,

I think that museums use a Wax to prevent rust swords but do not know which is most desirable.

I have never dared to touch a Nakago.

 

Jose.

Hi Jose,

The black patina on the nakago is protective. Kept dry and undisturbed it will prevent the formation of active red rust. I would carefully clean off the gunk with the least intrusive method (would alcohol cut the gunk?) and leave it be.
