Vintage Western USA L46-8 Leather Handle Hunting Knife with Correct Sheath

Vintage Western USA L46-8 leather handle hunting knife with correct leather sheath made in Boulder Colorado circa early 1970's. I believe this is a 1. Overall length is 13", the blade is 8" long and still has the clear protective coating on it from the factory.

Blade is bright and shiny with NO nicks, scratches, discoloration, or rust and the edge and tip are perfect. The leather sheath has a few very light surface marks from storage (see photos 1-7). There is some variation in the shading or color of the front of the sheath (see photos 1, 2, and 5). Both top and bottom edges of the handle tang have some rust and there is a slight gap between some of the leather spacers and the handle tang (see photos 20-21). I believe this is from being in storage for 50 years as this knife has never been used.

Please message me if you have any questions. Please read description and look at the pictures carefully as all are considered part of the description. I will work with you to try to resolve any issues. Your satisfaction is important to me.
