Hi Tobias..Nice dagger and all fittings are authentic ....BUT...not belonging to each other.
Late scabbard due to the plated fittings.
Crossguards are early SA marked with "Fr" for Franken
Grip appears to be an Ernst Pack Fruit grain type and was married to these guards due to the poor fit on the lower guard. Some shrinkage is acceptable but not that much on this example.
The hanger is nice ..but who knows when it was added to the scabbard. It should show some wear beneath on the scabbard paint if it was original to it.
The blade is mid period.
Dagger is comprised of parts.
Regards Larry

I Agree with Larry All the parts looks original but build up from different daggers.

what do you think about 500 euros for this one, i know you dont like to discuss value , but do you thinks its a fair price for a parts dagger like this?
Best Regards Tobias
Why bother spending money on this one?
There are plenty originals out there, just spend a bit more and buy a textbook original.
They do sell when you want to upgrade....these partsdaggers dont
