Hi nechesh thanks for the reply. 
 
The looseness that I was talking about was with the sheath/scabbard. I will post some more pictures of the sheath tomorrow, as it is in pretty bad condition.  I have been a long time lurker on this forum and the old, and I have read that post you kindly linked me. Thing is that I don't want to use these fruit acids on the blade as the blade's white pattern (nickle) will dull, and I do not have access to the arsnic needed to clean the blade, nor do I want to use it with there being kids running around the house. 
 
Many thanks, 
 
William
