This came out nice. However, will it work on swords or will it take off the nickle plating and any type of gilting ?

I'm not sure, i never tried it on painted/gilted/plated items. But i'm afraid that it will lift anything that's on the base metal.

Maybe someday i'll try it on a piece of painted/plated metal and see the results...

A few years ago I put together a simple electrolysis unit useing a common plug-in adaptor too clean some dirty Roman coins I bought and it seem to do a good job.
If I recall correctly I made a solution out of salt and water to clean the coins in.
