SA RZM M7/66 1941 for opinions

[Rescue190]

I recently acquired this SA dagger, RZM M7/66 194. The blade has some very small dings on both edges and some oxidization. The wood is tight and appears to be original to the dagger. The dings probably do not show up in photos with poor lighting, apologies. Painted scabbard with some finish loss. The weight feels like it is still in the tip. My first SA dagger and would like opinions of originality and value for what I paid. I git caught up in the moment and paid $500.00. I wanted an earlier dagger but they do not show up very often at the local shows. All opinions are welcome. Thanks

The dagger has its typical late production flaws and aesthetics.

It looks fine. Nice crossgrain on the blade and minimal flaking on the guards. Nice wood condition. $500 is abit of a shocking price for an later RZM, but if you are comfortable with it, it doesn't matter.

Thanks for the replies. I knew it was towards the top end for a RZM, but have not seen much below $600 in my area for similar.
