Info about LW 2nd model dagger

[Gregorio Torres]

I******180;ve just bought a LW 2nd model dagger made by Alcoso. It have in the pommel a screw which is positioned up in the outside. Is this a usual way to fix the pomel in this maker or is it the result of a repairing?
Thank you very much in advance.

The pommel is a one piece that screws onto the dagger. No screws to top.
Hope you did not pay much.

Photos would be nice as there's not normally a screw in the pommel, unless you're talking about the threaded tang.

I suspect it´s a repairing.
I have no doubt about the authenticity of the dagger, but... one never knows...
I cann´t post pictures in this forum yet.
So, If somebody send me his email by pm I´ll send several pics to be posted here and all of you can see what are we talking about.
Thank you very much in advance.

The pics which Robert have posted for me (thank you Robert) show the pieces when I dismounted the dagger yesterday. As you can see its a usual dagger with the screw-piece inside the pommel broken and with a extra screw and a hole added in the top as repairing.
But this dagger is a complete surprise for me. When examing deeply I find in the hanger this !!!!RZM mark!!!!!!. I never had seen it in a military item. Could anybody give me an explanation for it.
Thank you very much.

Looks like an original that someone went to a lot of trouble to repair (can't imagine that this was easier than simply getting a new pommel!)

The metal hanger fittings were used on other accouterments, to include those of some Party organizations, hence the RZM markings

Best,
