Help needed please - SA Dagger

I have been sent these photos of a dagger up for sale. The seller himself is undecided as to whether it is an original item or not. Please tell me if this is a good piece or early fake. Thank you for looking.

Well now, that goes to show. I know nought about daggers so just as well I asked. What would you feel would be a fair price? My main concerns were the fact that the etching on blade is not central and the wood to metal fit.

Should the "M" OF RZM be joined at the bottom i thought it was left open, could be wrong but mine is open

Dave, you make a good point, but if you go here wardaggers.com - RZM Marks Codes SA Daggers you'll see the same style on some of the blades.

Hi Tom, nothing wrong with it.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Ade, thanks. Any clue on fair value?

Thanks Tom, i count 8 out of all the ones shown, so really i would think these types are the harder to find versions, but Ade says its a good one and thats good enough for me, cheers Dave
