2 cents on a SS dagger

[Anthony Evans]

im looking at this dagger one dealer is selling it, and another site says its unknown of the maker mark so i thought i would put it up on here and get advice from ya'all

[Anthony Evans]

ohh the maker mark is 1196/38

maker mark

be as brutally honest as possible

Can you get better pictures? As far as I know 1196 is still an unknown maker of SS daggers.

Tough to say, but I don't see any red flags so far assuming that's a shadow on the crossguard/blade photo and not a gap. Since the dagger was disassembled, I am curious if there were any markings in the crossguards?

Whittmann has "1196/38 SS" listed as an unknow maker, and also has a picture of that same RZM mark in the SS book.

Another reference has that listed as WKC (supposition).

Get some better pictures, but I dont see anything to worry about.

Overall it's probably okay but better pictures are definitely in order for members to give a good opinion.

Clearer photos on the RZM mark, the placement of the eagle on the grip and the motto would be good. They are look questionable to me from the photos provided so far.

ill try to get better pics im downloading photoshop now to see if they cant clear them up and make them smaller
