Hi, I attach some pictures of a dague, could you please tell me the best you can, considering I do not have more pictures than the ones I enclosed, sorry that they are not the best pictures, but unfortunately this is all I have. Appreciate your comments, best regards, Juan
The seller asks for 550 Euros, do you think that is ok?

There is no maker mark visible on the pictures but I assume you are certain it's WKC. The pictures are not very good as you said yourself but the pommel certainly is an Eickhorn pommel. With the cracked grip, poor guilding of the scabbard and replaced pommel I would say € 550 is too much.

Thanks, how much would you pay for this?

Is this dagger Silver plated?

No, the guilding is just too poor compared to those in mint condition

I need better pictures to answer that question. It mainly depends on the blade.

Large sheath dent, major grip split/break, no gilt at all left...can't see what condition the blade is in...€ 550 is Way too much.

I would search another one, WKC has a typical pommel and this one having an eickhorn one, makes it a parts dagger.
Looking at the parts its easily shown that that is a lot of residu left on the guards of polish cream ( Brasso?)
Cracked handle, dented scabbard, gilt almost gone, well if you insist on buying this one € 350 seems reasonable.
But do yourself a favour and find a good one, you will get a hard time selling this one if you want to upgrade it in the future.
