Hi Colt, overall it is good. FP has made some valid comments though.
Some repair to the grip around the runes?
It dates from 1934.
Cheers, Ade.

Regarding the grip repairs, here's what appears like wise damage or a very similar repair on a 121/34 dagger at Roberts Collectibles.

We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.

Nice original period piece. The natural aging this piece shows can not be faked.

the lady at the sale said her father had it till he died
Sounds like the ''she just drove it to the bank and back" ploy.
Super fantastic find! I'm happy for you. I guess I'm gonna have to start following the wife through some of these sales. I agree with earlier post, five minutes on the internet and the seller could have known the true value.
