Need help for my SA dagger
My SA dagger has been displayed on a table for a long time with no problems, but a couple weeks ago I noticed some brown residue on the surface of the scabbard. I carefully wiped it off and didn't think about it much, but today I noticed more had accumulated. The air is too dry for rust, I don't know what material the scabbard surface is made of and why brown dust is appearing on it. Any help would be appreciated.
Photographs are essential for any kind of help, Welcome to the Forum, G

The scabbard body is made of steel.
- If it is an early dagger the finish is brown, but like like bluing on a gun. There may be a coat of protective clear lacquer.
- If it a later, there is a coat of brown paint.
As the gent above says, Photos are needed.
If there are areas where the laquer is gone...this is the result of time and a slow degradation.
This same thing has happened on my SA daggers that have thinning laquer or the anodized color aka bluing.
On a few of my totally lost laquer on the scabbards..I wiped down the scabbard with a dry cotton cloth and applied a coating of a Microcrystalline wax , called Renaissance Wax easily found on Amazon or Ebay.
Yes I agree with the other Gents...lets see some photos first.
Regards Larry
