Struggling with Textures for an Imperial Sword

[DagonOfSolitude 56]

Hi there, I am new to modding Skyrim and am struggling with getting my textures to appear properly in game. 

I've modeled a sword based on a Roman Spatha for the Imperial Legion the only issues I have from calling it finished are the textures looking pretty terrible in game. I've provided screenshots of it in game and in Marmoset as well as the .dds texture sheets.

Do you have a specular map in the alpha channel of your normal map? It looks a bit like it is missing.

That was exactly the problem. I didn't have alphas checked when saving the normal maps in .dds format. 

Thank you for the help, greatly appreciated.
