Well first off Danny, i would say that the photos are a little lacking and it's hard enough to make any worthy comments when photos are good. That said, it looks like you have a nice restoration project on your hands. The sheath looks original (that is to say, made for the blade) and it looks to have a real nice fit. Obviously the sheath needs repair and restoration and the blade needs a good cleaning. The blade is a simple, but appealing one and it has a nice brass pendokok from what i can see.
