WOW.. wonderful condition all around! Being unmarked I would guess it is a Horster product? Nice!! Kevin.
Its a lovely Mint conditioned dagger!
Unfortunate i cant say anything about its originality, i have never done a serious indepth research on Custom daggers.
But as far as i can see daggers is made of the right materials and has a lovely full mint crossgrained blade.
Portepee and hangers show the right wear, i like them.

Hi Rossi, surprised you took so long to see this, I know you like these, I like your one, very nice. your comment before Christmas about you was looking for one etc, the silver and green are the hardest to find. I do keep an eye open for you as I know a man who always gets these customs daggers in. Weitze has/had a lovely officer type one :-)
Been under a dozen or so boulders the last few months. SO I am glad I saw this. Thanks bud for keeping a knot eye open for me. I am not sure about maker. Mine is Eickhorn this one is very similar except for handle color is a little more brownish green. NICE PICK UP!!! I am still drooling over the knot.

That's a very nice looking Land Customs dagger. I wouldn't say it's not desirable simply because it's unmarked. Perhaps a little less desirable but it's quite well conditioned & items in really nice condition will always be desired by collectors. The added bonus of a nice set of hangers & a rare knot makes it a super rig IMHO.
As far as the maker, I suspect it's a Hörster product. My Hörster example is a dead ringer for this one, right down to the nice hand enhanced crossguard & the scabbard mounts. Great example, thanks for sharing it!
