Thank you everyone, this is why I came to this forum. I wondered about the hilt orientation, and if it is not the original I may very well rplace it, and will certainly get it turned the right way round.
The blade has had it's first clean and oil already. I am studying whether I can repair the sheath, or will need to replace part of it. The upper portion does fit the blade ok, so probably best I keep it.
