Thanks

Nice original IMHO. E Pack are known to use that light colored handle. I have one just like the one u show.

Does the scabbard correspond to an early dagger? I do not find this manufacturer in the MC SARR list, is that normal?

Scabbard has been repainted brown !

[HERBAUT]

Ok

[HERBAUT]

If I could have other opinions on the fact that it was repainted.

Several reviews are better than one.

Thank you

Yes, the scabbard, at least based on the supplied photos and the damage appears to have been repainted to me too.

Hi Herbaut,

"E. P. & S." was the logo of the cutlery firm of Ernst Pack & Sohn, one of the most prolific cutlery manufacturers contracted by the SA for the manufacture of SA Daggers...E. P. & S. is found on the McSARR list at #1, together with the Solingen firm of Carl Eickhorn. This rating indicates that those two cutlers are the source of the most commonly seen SA Daggers.

The piece in question was produced for an SA member in SA-Gruppe Nordmark, which was headquartered in Kiel.

Thank you, indeed, I had not seen .... And for you, you also think the sheath has been repainted.

Looks repainted to me, in the pictures anyway. Hard to tell in the initial pics but the scuff on the left flank shows bare metal underneath what is probably paint. Doesn't look like it was painted over an anodized surface either.

It's very difficult to tell whether this scabbard has been painted from the photos provided, without seeing it up close, but I tend to agree with Billy G's thoughtful posting above.
