[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 8663590, member: 2844"]Not everything 'out there' is online.;) If this was a small production, or possibly custom made, it is unlikely you'll find a second one. But as we know, rare doesn't necessarily mean valuable. I based my date guesstimate on other types of items of a similar manufacture, and on the type of decoration on the blade. I would certainly get rid of the rust, because it will eat away at the blade. There seems to be quite a lot of it, but you could try oil on it first and see what the result is before going on to more drastic things. Komo probably has advice on rust treatment as well. And for the sheath, this site has advice on how to treat mouldy leather: [URL]https://steelhorseleather.com/blogs/the-journal/remove-mold-leather-essential-guide[/URL][/QUOTE]
