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.

Thank you Serge for your oppinion.

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