Yes Larry I initially read it as a date also.
According the dealer this is the "original owner's SS information"
Could be, but Heinrick Hernandez is an unusual combination.
Can people please analyse the grip fitment. Those gaps are pretty big both top and bottom, and the grip is bigger than the height of the cross guards too. Ie it doesn't fit width or height.
What are your opinions please
Although it is not uncommon to see some less than perfect fitted daggers ..I have seen this mid period producer having a better fit more so than others.
The RZM utilized the designs to exercise production and standardization controls and IMO ...I would expect a better fit ...as they are out there to be found.
IMO ....for me personally if I were to be collecting RZM daggers ..I would want a tighter fit...and to answer another question ...some of these daggers did loosen and also the grips did shrink a little.
It is normal to see grip shoulders slightly larger than the crossguards on some early to late produced daggers ...but this grip for me on this producer is a bit too much.
Just my thoughts and personal preference.
Regards Larry

Thank you for your considered response.
I recognise that an absolute perfect perfect fit may not always be the case due to production variances and ageing but I tend to agree based on everything I've seen from my own research that gaps this wide top and bottom would have been unlikely to pass quality control.
The first thing i do is look for that typical high glossy shine that factory applied scabbards have.
Like JR this one looks fine to me and i cant see a repaint in it, next to the fitting is just dirt, nothing more imo.

That's right. Was just accumulated dirt I got a magnifying glass.
I am actually new to prescription glasses so I'm still adjusting to the fact that without them I can't really see that well.
Once I got my prescription glasses from the office and bought them home and use the magnifying glass as well I could see that it was just built up stain/ grime.
The challenge for me though was the grip fitment.
But full refund offered.
Gebaaz if you wish to acquire a dagger ..it would be best to either send a PM to JR Meda..or post that request within the classified section of the forum.
