Quote from an old thread from Larry s post: "Roman numeral I - " Munich " most commonly seen with most if not all Early SS daggers"

Walk away from it.
Problems:
Nut
Crossguard "I" mark on wrong side (so has been apart, as evidenced by the nut too)
High spine to blade
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks Ade, will do, did not convince me at first sight, but wanted to hear what your thoughts were, just for the sake of learning now. Searching for a SS Dagger and since I am in no rush will patiently look for one, Regards, Juan

Juan, Hi.
It wouldn't be for me and Il tell you why.
It is presumably meant to be an early 33, but has a repainted Rzm scabbard. The tangnut is also the plated type, but should be nickel.
Going by the numeral on the guard these are early, but it is back to front.
Grip looks repainted so its either SA or a repair. The Sunken SS button isn't a good sign either.
As a lesson though don't wouldn't write an SS dagger off because of the sharp angle of the runes as the early ones were set this way so when the dagger was in wear (typically 45 degrees) the runes were straight up/down.
To be fair its not good to comment on the blade or number without clearer pictures. If these are the pictures you have been given from the seller take it as a warning shot.
IMO the vertical hanger is a replica.
Ps. Ask if you can see the SA dagger in the background.
