Im the go to guy, as a member here can not have swords shipped to him, I also thought it odd that they had to be done first, we'll know now that on such a undertaking polish first rest later.

Buying a rusty blade is a crap shoot, see link for what turned up after foundation polish. This was bought on ebay for five hundred, add in shipping shirasaya and habaki its not fun when it goes bad. http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/SC.html

machine made as in power hammer.

shinto shinshinto still wont hurt, with all the chips in the ha a little elbow grease not going to hurt a thing. If it was in above avg polish, then you can yell and scream all ya want about cleaning abrasions. Grandma huh...looking for words???
-
you have a war relic, not a national treasure, if you want to clean the blade it wont hurt this gunto to uchiko it, don't worry you not going to ruin it.
-
"Out of interest would using metal glo on this blade be a stupid thing to do?" Not a good idea, In its state, Uchikoing it would be the best to bring out the hada and hamon, water quenched is not for sure, if it was it could be both hand or machine.
