Hi, I recently bought this dagger that was well rewiewed on a side forum. I photographed it in more detail, please give your opinions. If you need more photos, don't hesitate to write me about them. Thank you.
I believe it is an original c type 1 chain in good shape. I believe the grip may have been painted or darkened. Possibly remnants of die on the eagle. Grip looks to fit well and be crack free.
I do believe the dagger has been taken apart at some point as evidence on top guard.
Scabbard looks to be anodized and possibly repainted or touched up not sure. No dings or dents. All screws present and correct. Scabbard to guard fit is nice and tight.
Blade looks like it may have been slightly cleaned. I don't see crossgrain.
Chain shows excellent detail and very little plating loss. Also shows drgm stamping.
I'm not an expert so please wait for them.
Nice dagger.

HI Kurt ...these are just my observations
First off the the configuration for a Type C Chained SS is correct ...no doubt.
My observations:
The scabbard anodizing laquer is completely gone and the anodizing has worn thin.....which is to be expected under certain wear and carry conditions.
The Type C Chain assembly is brand new looking not showing wear at all including the center ramp.
I would expect to see a little more wear and patina on that.
The grip appears to have been repainted in your 5th photo...but that could be the lighting as the reverse side of the grip is at it should appear.
The blade has been overcleaned a few times and also shows pitting
Again just my observations and the configuration is correct.
Dave and or Mr Skyline may comment as well.
Regards Larry

I took pictures of the critical places with a flash and I am adding pictures of the chain links where you can see the patina where the hand of the person who polished the dagger
Compare lower guard with another daggers.

I'm sorry, but for me I know what an OEM M1936 dagger from the 3rd manufacturing generation should look like. Which is the same standard as for the M1933 daggers. It's not like they did not believe in quality control even if they had to change the way that they made them (due to government restrictions). Best Regards, Fred
