Glad you got to see it thanks for the comments. The blade is in good shape, the scabbard has rust but I don't restore things so aomeone with skills may be able to. Your correct though it would be a task. Thats how I feel this thing is over 100 years old, pretty good. I plan to take a picture of my 12 guage double hammer gun and post it. They were built sometime around 1890 to 1905 or thereabouts. See you Tom.
