1164/38 SS transitional hot mess.

Found this on the web of known makers marks and it looks the same as the one on the blade
If you can acquire it for $100 I would say go for it. The grip has been destroyed and or is a fake made to fit the tang of another producers blade.
Crossguard to blade shoulder fit is horrible.
The blade has been over cleaned and appears to be authentic transitional. Total parts dagger not worth your time money or investment IMO.

Funny you say 100 Larry that's what he is asking what do you think about the Scabbard.
The scabbard is an anodized type with plated fittings added on. One screw is missing on the lower fitting. Never seen anodized scabbards on late daggers unless it was a Chained SS Type C scabbard.
Not thrilled with that either
