But if it's a "put together" then it is possible it has the wrong scabbard

Another reason why I want to see it assembled

If the dagger had plated fittings then there would be a higher chance but not nickel fittings.by John Brandon
There is such thing as a very early 36' chained officer dagger completely in nickel, they are rare and it would take a very foolish person to split them.
My view is, its a put together dagger and/with scabbard. I would be very interested to know what number is stamped on the lower cross guard.

If you look at picture 4 posted by the OP, there is corrosion apparent inside the lower crossguard. It looks like this fitting is nickel plated and NOT nickel as first thought.
A plated fitting wouldnt have a stamped numeral anyway so that questions answered.
The top corners of the top crossguard are worn, so its a plated top fitting too.
I think there is a chance this is a 33 scabbard, but I cannot tell from the picture.
Maybe a 36 unmarked dagger in a 33 scabbard but very interesting they fit.
A unmarked 1936 dagger im pretty sure did not exist as they were all RZM marked (except the chained version)
Unless this was almost correct 'put together' for bring back ?

Not really worth commenting on, until we can see the whole thing....

Looks like a postwar assembled mish-mash of old and new parts....Good only for display at arm's length. Sorry.
