I wanted to get some professional feedback on this SS dagger. Is this a decent purchase. I always appreciate the help before making a big leap! Thank you!

Hi Sam,
The scabbard appears re painted to me, I can see runs in the paint and it looks a bit too fresh. The grip to crossguard fit is not particularly good, but they can shrink. The blade looks o.k. I would be wary, the price is tempting, but better wait for other opinions.
Regards, Ned.

Thanks Ned!
anyone else! Thanks for all the help!

Im afraid i dont like the damage to the top crossguard which should reflect in the price, the shrinkage to the grip i thought would also affect the outer paint covering but there appears to be no cracking, the scabbard does look like a repaint but these photos are'nt the best to judge by
Thanks Dave. I appreciate your input and opinion!!

As said, the photos are not that great. The white background washes out details.
There are enough available for sale that you will eventually find a good,
unmessed with example - if you are patient ! The cost of an SS dagger
alone would make me want to hold off until I found the best one
possible and not 'dive in' too quickly.
Sam, keep posting them here for comment, and you will end up
with a really nice one.........
Regards,
Steve.
