Recently inherited these bayonets. They've clearly been touched up with something. You can see "overspray" on the handles. I'm planning to sand blast them down and cold blue them, but I wanted to check with the braintrust before I went and potentially ruined them.
Thoughts on what this is? Seems stronger than paint. Am I making a mistake removing it?
