No value as a collectable but might make a good user if you can clean it up, and get it to function properly. A drop or two of light oil in the blade pivots may help.

They'll diminish in time as it gets sharpened.
It could be a fine companion for you.

9 mm, huh? Nice job ...... You must have run out of 218 Bee case heads.

Those are the worst serations I’ve ever seen. Lol.

Looks like it could be a fine user.
