New SA dagger H&F Lauterjung

[gerrit]

Lovely piece here with a good fit.
I do have a bit of a concern: it looks like the blade has been cleaned with some kind of metal sponse ( scourer? )
Looking at the tip the metal colour is not what normal crossgrain would show, also left below the MM ( under SoLIN) the sanding lines are not straight on the blade but sweep lightly to the tip.
Just my observations.....

Hi Ger

I think what you are seeing is my bad using flash for the photos. In hand the blade looks great and does not appear tampered with in any way.

Hey Larry thanks for editing the title of the thread to include the maker name which was the whole point of the thread!

Good to hear Steve!
Never ever use flash outside a studio with the proper light setup
