SS dagger 1933 with tag

[sandgroper]

G'day all,
I saw this dagger here in Perth on the weekend and took a couple of pics, I thought it was pretty good! I've only seen a few of these with the paper tags online, I never thought I would see one in the flesh here in sleepy Western Australia. The pics are a bit ordinary because I only had my phone with me but the dagger looked really good. I wasn't sure about the scabbard, it almost looked a bit too good but having said that the scabbard seemed to fit the dagger very nicely and, as I've learnt here, I shouldn't be put off just because something looks really good. Anyway, it is out of my price range and it has a buyer lined up already, I just thought you blokes might like to see it too.
Cheers, Dave.

May I ask what the dealer was asking for it?

I think he said $4200 but he already had a bloke that wanted it.

You guys know what I am going to say.... in scabbard back to front.....

These tags are faked like everything else. I do not know enough about these to give a valid opinion.

I don't like the marks on the retaining nut. Clearly someone has messed with the dagger at some point in time.

Cheers, Ade.

I agree with Ade and I will not give out any information on the tag except of its position on the grip. Larry
