Thank you both for the reference material. It was given to me by a very close family friend, if it is worth restoring than that is what i would like to do, I don't think I would sell it regardless. The friend who gave it to me acquired it while stationed in Japan. He did say he had some kind of paperwork but couldn't remember where he had put it when he gave it to me or exactly what the paperwork was ( he's getting up there in age).

Thank you for that, I may just drive up to SF and do that

I'm actually factory certified by Remington and have made some amazing tack drivers with some old beat up 700 actions but I get your point.

Thank you for the information on this blade, now knowing what it is and doing a little research I think I would like to have it worked on by a pro to bring it's beauty out. Is there anyone you guys could recommend and would it be worth it or will I have more money into it than it's worth? I am a professional gunsmith and have done restorations on antique firearms so I appreciate that restoring a sword would require a trained professional swordsmith as that is an art all it's own

Thank you guys very much

Was given this today and I know nothing about it, was hoping someone here could help me
