I have a few boxes of items from a grandfather I never knew that I just received recently from a trustee. A lot of medals, photos, other military items that I'm trying to sort out. But I found this knife that appears in several photos and I wonder if I should keep it the way it is or restore it by polishing it up and cleaning.
On the blade it says it's an "EGW Knife" which from some googling appears to be pretty commonly aquired by soldiers during WW2. That being said I don't think or care if it has any monetary value, but would you "restore" this?
