Thanks Ken,

The 30 30 needs no resurrection. It is pristine and still smells of gun oil. Probably wouldn't hurt to clean it! smile It has only had 2 rounds fired thru it and that was by me in 1981. I'm surprised I never noticed the knife in the case back then!

Thanks for the tip on the mink oil. I have some around here someplace. If it doesn't work out I will be back for contact info on your friend. I would like to restore the sheath to original if possible.

Edit: I'll post a pic of the knife soon. I think you might enjoy seeing it.






I'm thinking he modified the sheath with some shoelaces! smile Probably that fancy cross hatch as well! ...

There is some rust but as near as I can tell the knife is a WWII USN Mark MK 1 Fighting Knife Camillus NY
