[Kasper]

Dear all,

like promised I found now time to make better pictures.
I know the condition is not like on the G.O. from the auction above mentioned by Serge.
Best regards

OK, It's not mint, But IMHO it's honest 'As-Is', uncleaned, with a splash of rust here & there.

On this model, for me, the key items are the blade has not been cleaned, most crossgrain remaining. The tang nut, along with the scabbard screws have not been buggered.

Note: For most collectors the obverse placement of the Alcoso logo would be a detraction, and hence a hit on valuation, indicating being 'messed-with'. On this example with lack of tang-nut buggering marks, I would accept this as a 'factory' oddity. Also because the rest of the dagger looks like it was untouched since the war.
Just my views and observations, sprinkled with a dash of speculation.

I would accept this one in my collection.

Alcoso is well known for having its logo on the frontside, nothing new there.
I like this daggger, a nice original imo.
