any old wood lacquer from the hardware store. I'm partial to minwax polycrylic but any natural or synthetic lacquer will be fine. They come in a can to brush on spray can- but if you use that you'll have to tape off the pommel and guard to cover them.

-- or wait - since the grip is already shiney maybe you meant the pommel/guard. Whatever you use always go with a thin coat, proper drying time between coats.

Wipe on polyurathane or spray on Shellac will do the job. Ive refinished enough gun stocks to know a thing or 2 about clear coat Just make sure you follow the directions and strictly adhere to the drying/cure times.

make a hanger for it out of wire and dip it let drip dry sand off ends where it will have some anomalies
