IMHO the quality of the pictures makes it impossible to give an informed comment on your questions. It's quite possible that I'm looking at an early (42) 1219C2 KA-BAR I can't be sure and condition would effect the value. I will say that the sheath in the first picture is not a correct one for a 1219C2 pattern knife. If it is what it appears to be, an M6 sheath, depending on it's condition it could very well be worth more than the knife.
 
I hate to tell you that you have one of the rarest KA-BAR's that exist...if it was in better condition. That one is pretty rough. The "red spacer" KA-BAR is the one that is the most collectible. Great knife.
 
I'd love to see clearer photos of this - even though it's rough I think the cell phone pictures probably aren't doing it justice.

Here is mine, it is a bit better condition.

I've never posted to this forum, especially a picture so let's hope it works.
