To me,this looks like a totally mismatched set. The scabbard does not seem to match the finish on the hilt or guard. The condition of the grip wood is Very bad and does not fit the guard and the runes rondel is absolutely wrong-it looks to be a parts dagger at best,in my opinion.(That and the condition of the blade is terrible.) I would not purchase this piece, if it were offered to me. William

I would also pass I agree with William's statement.

For that much money I think I would pass.In real estate its location,location,location.in German dress daggers it is Condition, Condition ,Condition.There are two things that stick out to me one is the scrape line that goes through the middle of the motto and the flaking at the top of the handle.I think if you put a little more cash into a blade in better condition you will be happier in the long run.
Hi Kris, I am in agreement with the other guys here. Pass on it.
Cheers, Ade.
