Post-war use of an NSKK dagger 2
Please see original thread:
https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/sa-di...dagger-792453/
I have finished with the dagger, it needed quite a bit of work. I am pleased with the outcome, I'm sure others would find it hard to swallow to restore relics.
-Nut needed to be changed, the thread was destroyed, this is the only unoriginal part since it's extremely hard to find an original one
-Paint stripped from wooden grip, which afterwards recieved a light polish
-Crossguards has been polished, they were cut & sanded by original owner, NOT BY ME
-Eagle replaced, i sourced this one from a relic find - I thought it goes well with the overall condition of the dagger itself
-SA pin paint stripped & polished a bit
-Changed the blade back to it's original side, it has been fiddled with along the years
-Scabbard recieved two original screws that were missing, the correct size to the correct positions
Overall I turned out pretty good, and I love it's bloody history too, but I wanted to clean it up nicely. I have not touched the scabbard other than replacing the screws, to keep it in it's original condition as I have received it.
I have many of these "odd items" in my collection, it goes well with the rest.
I have been told by many that this is most likely an early NSKK dagger.
I hope you enjoy my threads, please let me know what you think!

I remember your thread from a few months ago. Hope you don't intend intend to slaughter some malac with it!
Nice job with the attempt at restoring.
