Before worrying about the knife sheath, I'd do everything I could to resurrect that 30-30 if you could.

Thanks Ken,
The 30 30 needs no resurrection. It is pristine and still smells of gun oil. Probably wouldn't hurt to clean it!
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.
