If you can reduce the file size to 7" X 5" at 100ppi, they will fit in the File Manager.

After getting a better look at the rivets, the knife sheath combo was not attached to the holster set by Johnson.

After getting a better look, I'm positive the sheaths were not made by Johnson. Quality just isn't there.

Here is an old Randall..... with stories to tell based on the condition and patina. It may have never done anything more exciting than open cans of pork & beans, but it did so often.

It's an early Model #1 with a 6" blade which is rare for the period. Most were 7" or 8". It's a heavy knife... looking at it gives the impression it has been broken and re-ground from a longer knife, but it's original.

The sheath is an unriveted Heiser sheath. Note the high position of the keeper strap.

I am guessing it was made in 1943-44.

The brass chain link thong hole is broken and the nut has been tightened down a few times.... The solder at the hilt is cracked. The stone and pouch flap are missing.

Condition is always a big consideration for vintage collectors..... but this ugly duck is beautiful if you ask me.
