 I picked up these two knives today at an antique shop .
 This one has a gap where the scales meet the guard . looks to have once been filled with copper .

 How should I proceed here, re-scale it, leave it.
 Everything is tight just looks ugly.

 Thanks Kevin

I would think about a re' wrap with copper... With them stamped "Pakistan" I don't know if I'd put too much into them. They would make a great carry knife IMHO for reenacting (such as Rendezvous), or other events.  They certainly would be conversation pieces... :shake

Nessmuk:
If they were mine I'd just sharpen them, polish them and appreciate their character and personality. That's just me, though.

Bigsmoke:
Looks like a couple of blanket prizes to me.
Since they were made by Paki Pete, they really don't have a lot of value.  At least with serious knife aficionados.  One similar to yours is $29.95 on FleaBay.
I see a USA made one similar to yours for about $250.00 as a comparison.  And another at $450.00.

IME, a Paki knife blade that will hold an edge after a (very) little use is about as rare as chicken teeth.  :bigsmile:
