I think the SS logo on the chain is wrong. It lays on it's side. But, I saw it before tough...

I'm happy with the handle and the handle fittings, I was more concerned about the scabbard fitting having 2. screws in it, the chain and the size/style of lettering on the blade. The lettering seems to be different thinner font to other SS daggers I have seen. Cheers

Ok. If would help as a collective community to see the entire dagger. There may be a tell, tale sign you missed others could catch. It would also help so that you can see the whole picture. Wait for others.

The grip eagle looks to have been messed with as it has some gouging around the wreath and foot area. It is normal to see the 2 screws in the center ramp with the type II chain. The font text style looks to be consistent with this unknown maker. Closer pics would be helpful and more clearer. I would suggest to use your camera timer and not use your hands to shoot still photos,,as the slightest movement will cause it to blur. More opinions are needed on this dagger!

The grip eagle may have been replaced at one time or another in the past, but other than that, I'm not seeing any red flags on this piece. The sideways runes on the chain links are a known variant, and the blade looks fine.
