Alcoso Dagger for purchase verification
Hello, as I am now in time of sending cash to my bank account to pay for this piece, I would like to be sure I am good with my decision.
Seller states that this is early Alcoso not touched since the war end , it is personalized ( got inscribed A) on the back.
PHOTOS:
The crossguard does not appear to be the "High lift type " associated with this producer..and hidden very well beneath a carefully tied portepee. Not much to go on and will let the Heer Gents comment on it further. hang onto your money for the time being....wait for a clear and precise answer..it may be worth it.
Alcoso daggers are plentiful to find. No worriesRegards Larry
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

Must see the crossguard! Larry you would not see a High lift with this maker mark I bet it’s a Type-3 or Type-2 if you’re real Lucky Looks good so far but must see that guard! To make sure its an Alcoso. Killer personalization though.
Agree with Tom, looks to be a very nice earlier type 3, may be an Eisenkopf! (Ferrous metal based fittings) Best, Kevin.
And by all means lets see the whole personalization ! looks really nice so far.
The Gents above said/asked it all.
To me it looks like a nice Alcoso 3rd pattern.
1 thing that caught my eye is the top of the grip, and im not completely sure.
Alcoso used a small base pommel and that needs a grip with a smaler topbase as the usual ones.
This one looks different, could be the angle but im not sure, would like to see one pic straight on the pommel/grip line.
Might as well just be the angle the pic is taken...could be the rim is hidden under the grip and the angle could make the grip look larger then it is.
here an example of what i mean, left yours, right side mine

Ger, good observation looks like that base ring is missing/machined down, hard to tell from the photos provided, It would be nice to see a close up of pommel/grip..... interesting
