Whats also very nice to see is the patina in the stamped G. on the guard.
There is no doubt this is a period personalisation.
I have seen so many added names and abbr. that im getting somewhat tired of all these features.
Stupid for example seeing a plated alu army pommel with nice black patina and then seeing 2 letters in full fresh alu colour.....
Yours is just great!

Thanks Gerrit ... that's a good point to look out for.
I do tend to stay away from Dedication on Blades or Personalised Initials on Daggers ... Like you said there's so many that's been messed with.
This thread got away from me sorry Stevade
I find it impressive that there is no lifting of the silvering on the fittings and still shows a few bumps of age or original carry wear.
The detail and patina is all there and appears to be unmessed with and also echo the comments of Gerrit..Anderson and Gman
