Next is my dilemma.
I have two daggers/letter openers both with ex Brit Vet provenance and an option to purchase another.
I have one cased dagger...denazified with missing scabbard rings, original grip wire and lovely marked blade.
The other one that has missing grip wire but of poorer quality and stained pitted blade.
The other one that may be available is without scabbard, tatty blade but has the grip wire and untouched hilt and pommel.
Do I cut and shut and swap the bits around? Or leave them all alone?
If the option is Cut and Shut and do the Swap how do these daggers come apart?
All the best Doug.
PS Follows are a few comparison shots that seem to prove that the daggers come from the same manufacturer

Here are the comparisons between the two openers:
First the Eagles:

Back of the hilts:

Final picture is the oakleaf decoration on the lower edge of the scabbard which I believe makes it fairly conclusive that they are made by the same manufacturer or at least from the same moulds.
All the best Doug

Hello Doug,
I would suggest that you do NOT cut and swap. If you do, it will be the same as a full sized one, you will only have parts daggers.
JMHO,
Ralph.
