The blade looks good to me, I see the signs of wear that one would expect to see on an older blade. Assuming that the scabbard and fittings are original to the blade the size is not unusual, I have a kard that is 10 1/2" with a 7 1/2".
blade, I also have a kard that is 17.5 inches long, quite a wide range of sizes.

Here is a link to many kard examples.
