Thank you for your quick reaction. For your info, the Hungarian royal crown is 1000 (one thousand) years old and believe it or not there is not a tiny spot of rust or dirt on it...:) looks brand new!!
Well, Due to the different uses both items have, I´d say they cannot be compared... A shashka or any kind of sword was to be used everyday, in combat or field (and obviously suffering some weathering because of that), and crowns didn´t. And concerning to its costruction, I suppose the hungarian royal crown is made of precious metals and stones, and these do not rust, as far as I know. Steel and/or iron do rust with the years.

Gee, those brass firrings look so clean and bright....
I hope it's real Andreas, it sure is pretty. :)
