Abit tough to tell from the pics, but from what I can see, it looks okey so far. Can't Quite make out the makers code number, but the grip fit is good and I'm not seeing a whole lot of red flags. The scabbard May be a repaint(either contemporary or post war) but it might be just the lighting. The scabbard ball tip is actually undented, which is always nice to see!

Hi Ben,, it looks good to me as this is an unknown maker from the middle period RZM1196/38. The lower Crossguard points to the maker " Jacobs or EP &S " but because of the photos Im not sure. Regardless during that period makers were buying parts from each other to make quota. Looks good for Mid period. See what others have to say!Larry

I would agree with William's and Larry's comments. The scabbard certainly looks repainted to me.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: SS Dagger RZM1196/38
I heard from my friend today via Face book ( he is in a sunny place) the scabbard was repainted by his Grand father, when he gets back in 6 months he will take better pics for us
