Nice knife! As for rarity, I have no idea.
Those "end pieces" are called bolsters. If you're concerned about 'em, a little metal polish with shine 'em right up.

As Steve said, metal polish. Some favorites around here are Brasso, Flitz, Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish, Simichrome, etc. The bolsters are commonly made of "Nickel Silver" (also known as 'German Silver' and 'White Brass') but some are made of steel.

Not rare (you can still find them NIB) but definitely not common either - a desirable Buck Knife. Nice piece. OH

The day folks 'round here get tired of answerin' questions and talkin' knives is the day this site closes up shop!
Ain't gonna happen!
