My thoughts are:   If you plan on selling it (i think that is what you want to do)  no not have any restoration done,  Oil it and care for it as Grey suggested. If you have the handle re-wrapped it will cost you money/time and a buyer may not like the results.   Research it (you are doing that now)  get all the info you can. Then sell it once you know what you have.  You are in Seattle, did anyone suggest you show it to Brian T? He is a known person and is knowledgeable and is local to you.  I think the more people who see it offers the opportunity to learn and you get multiple opinions/offers.  If you have the journal and picture  this may bring the best price to a militaria collector  but you will figure that out as you go.   Smart to move slowly.

 

Just my opinion
