Finished up the obiwan saber. For those of you on the fence about getting one, DO IT! Romans obiwan is awsome and so much cooler in person.
I cleaned it up some, kept the rust! Remember I bought this from the junk yard so it came already weathered. The windvane is brass and was really tarnished. It was a great weathering job however I backed a little of the tarnish off to let the brass shine trough just a bit more. Also I installed the exacta card from wannawanga.com even though it was for romans graflex. Its not here yet so I ordered a couple more instead of just sitting.

Chaim mentioned the museum wax and I have been researching it. Crystalline has a product that has me interested. As of now, this is untreated but I need to treat this rust soon. Luckily hobby lobby and of all places, homedepot sells this.
Thanks for the tip Chaim. I was preparing to just use a spray clear coat. I think I like the wax better.
