Late SS Dagger RZM M7/81 RZM 1241/39 SS. Help needed!

Hi guys,

I am not terribly well with SS daggers as they have always been out of my price range but lately I have been wanting to expande my collection. I found an interesting offer from a dealer. Can anyone tell me if this dagger is legit? Any help is much appreciated. Apparently the RZM Code stands for Tiegel Karl (TIEGELWERK).

Thank Kmalla

I am not an expert on daggers and I could be totally wrong but I didn't like the eagle, seems like it lacks the detail.

Eagle just doesn't seem like it has the same vintage/wear.

Agree, and the eagle looks like one of the softer pewter fakes from a few years ago

Also the 'spine' of the grip curves above and below the is curved and the top uneven. Homemade (badly) is my guess.

Thanks for the quick reply. I felt like the SS rune is also a bit off to the wrong side. Usually you see them tilted the other way; especially with early daggers. The blade looks geniune to me but will pass this one.
