The rust is not terrible, and the only other problem I see is that the handle is somewhat loose. Other wise it is in really good condition. Also is there anything else I can do to increase its value. My gut feeling is to leave it the way it is.
The fastest way to ruin the value of any old knife is to start working on it.

Do not touch it.
