    somebody had a go at the grip eagle and used wood filler to try to cover over their tracks and failed.
    There are also pick marks above the right wing.
    The grip and eagle are corect for late period but wondering if an attempt was made to remove it or it was replaced?


    Who knows but the wood filler is trying to tell a story.

    I think what your seeing is where the wood chipped away when they routed it out for the eagle. ( over left wing) that isn't wood filler its tiny pieces of wood missing.

    Is the tolerance between the wood grip and the crossguards acceptable? I see quite a but of a gap there.

    I always look to see that the wood surrounding the Adler inlays is smooth. Cracks can develop over time that run lengthwise perhaps from the roundel up, or at the ends of the eagle. Although not desirable, these are the natural result of time and improper protection against humidity and temperature cycling. Fits with metal into wood we’re not always precise. Maker, time period and other factors contributed to this. Nice dagger. Blade has good cross grain.

    Managed to get a picture at a different angle to show the chipping.

    Thats not chipping from over time.....Like I said someone had a go at it or either failed or left it alone. At the very end of the right wing tip is a gouge mark..that tried to lift off at the wing.

    SA and SS collectors know this as we have seen it so many times.
