I know some of you guys here on the forum won't like the repainted scabbard, but it's fine with me. I have kind of developed a story for myself that the original SS dagger holder either messed the scabbard up and had it repainted or replaced it with a repainted SA or NSKK scabbard, maybe from his own SA dagger, as a lot of SA members transitioned into the SS.
Of course it's only a theory, but I guess it's as good as anyones. The paint on the back of it is really worn, so the scabbard has probably seen a lot of period use.
And besides, if it was repainted recently, then it would be the worst paint job ever! :-D
Cheers!

Dark Knight--I would like to see more pics of the grip on this one. From the photos, it looks a bit like it may have been restained or something.

I understand what you mean, the kind of "glossy" finish. I don't think though it is repainted since you cannot see any stripes of a paintbrush or anyting like that. I honestly think it is the original finish, since the wear (where it is a Little bit duller) is on the ridge and other places that would be worn when you hold it. Also the tang nut i absolutely free of any tool marks, so hopefully it hasn't been apart.
The finish looks very similair to this Robert Klaas that I saw earlier on the forum.

All the best!

It's your call, but a no such type of lacquer or finish was used on these grips that would appear as such, but that's JMHO and in-hand would be dispositive of course.

Yeah, well, it’s already deemed a decent, correct and good dagger by two of the more experienced and active members on the forum, so I think I’ll go with that.
It would be nice to see some of your daggers. It’s always a learning experience for a newbie to look at other collectors daggers.
