I have concerns .
Stell doch mal bessere Bilder ein .

Based on what I see, I have some concerns about just about everything. The photos are not clear enough to make a complete determination, but the scabbard screws, grip and eagle and blade don't look right. The hanger loop looks new.

I second that.

Peter, this is one of those times when based on your photos it's nearly impossible to make a call. While the maker's mark is almost exact to the one in Whittmann's book, there are other points of concern as mentioned. With the cost of SS daggers now days, I personally wouldn't purchase something questionable. I learned the hard way that it's better to spend a few more dollars and buy as "textbook" as possible. You'll sleep better over the long haul.

hello larry,
thanks for your answer. i'm a buckle collector and i have bought a complete set of a belt buckle. there was a nice buckle, a belt, a shoulder strap and all these leather parts in great condition. the dagger was includet. the rest of this set was original, my interested was to know if all parts of this set are good or no.

This dagger looks a reproduction.The scabbard screws protude too much from the shell,the dagger handle looks like it is made out of plastic,the runes button looks strange from this angle.And the date stamp numbers/letters are not of the type I have seen before,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Peter H.]

hello thelma,
the handle is from wood and not from plastic

Peter... I would be very cautious with that dagger, that RZM number was allocated to makers Carl and Robert Linder. Cheers, Scott.

15 is actually the special SS code assigned to Henckels.
