The first decent picture I've managed to get so far, of the Rifles badge in the guard:
As you can see, there's some discoloration and gunk on the guard, but I'm not sure how much of it is actually rust. The inside of the guard, on the other hand, definitely has some rust on it (and what looks like a layer of dried gunk) but doesn't seem to have suffered much damage from it. I'll try and get some decent pics of the inside.
My camera won't focus on the blade, so I'll have to find a magnifying glass to get some pics of the etching. There's dark spots on it, including over the royal cypher, and the etching's worn and a bit faint.
