BIN of $30, but I'm not sure if the blade has any damage. I see rust I could easily clean; it obviously needs either scale cleaning or a rescale; definitely needs fresh pins.
If the blade itself is undamaged I'm sure pulling it off the scales (see the shank?) and cleaning the rust off would be easy; then a good (thin) coat of Tuf-Glide, send it to Lynn for an estimate on any beveling that needs doing (does he need it in scales?), and at some point (before/after sending) scale it either in the cleaned-up originals with NiAg pins or throw on some Ebony or black horn scales.
Looks really bad though, the blade could be cracked/chipped.
EDIT: Here's a German one from the same era, in much better condition:
