Trying to ID SS dagger
Hello Forum Members, I am new to this forum. I had a little trouble figuring out how to load images and I do not know how much the file size needs limited. I am trying to ID the maker of this dagger.
As you see it has a copper eagle. Plus I am having issues with my wired computer and am doing this on a wireless notepad.
If any SS dagger specialist has even a clue on the maker, it would help.
Thank You to all that take the time to respond.

Hello Grim..there is no need to provide an email address if you are looking for an identification of this dagger. We can do that right here on this thread.

This came from a highly reguarded seller.

I wanted to provide email address in case some one wanted to keep their response private.
Thanks for the help. I paid up for this out of trust, between the seller and myself.

Any member that may interested in contacting you ....could be done through Private PM and from there you can give out your email address.
To answer your initial question about an identity ....These CH SS daggers with no maker mark to this day are unknown...but some of these have been assembled through sub contractor supplied fittings...but no Producer to this date.

Hello
For me it's a nice SS 36 - B 2 type- I see no issue with it
I've already seen copper eagle on the grip of these
I like what I see and agree with athor. Looks like nice mid to late chained, copper eagle nickle plated fittings and b2 chain. The blade looks really nice to me. Cross guards, scabbard fittings and chains look nickle plated. Scabbard also has later dome head screws. Scabbard looks to be nice anodized with very little loss. Grip looks nicely preserved showing wood through indicating not messed with. Some slight gap with upper crossguard.
I like what I see but I am still learning.

I have to cautiously agree that due to the photos in what they project ..Im seeing a B2 as well.
In one photo the front side of the chain looks brand new for a B2 compared to the Wotans knot above it which is dulled ..yet in other photos due to the lighting used...it appears correct.
The same concern with the lower guard.
The grip eagle had me at odds as well although copper is correct for the time period...I was thrown off by the filler used beneath the grip wings,,,,yet the grip eagle looks to have been there a long time.
The right and left Wotans knot connectors differ from each other as well....in color and also slightly in shape. Possibly 2 material types.
Maybe Im looking at it too hard ? ....I see what I see ...and I as I said I am cautious.
Thats why in this hobby and with these Chained SS examples ...always more eyes and thoughts are needed.
