Now that Yancy points out these things, I would pass it along, because I paid that much for mine, so I would wait on this one and try to find a better one

David.At Rathau on the Aller, the CO of 5th Royal Tanks advanced on foot to take a cautious look into the town before his tanks moved in. He encountered one of his own officers, a huge Welshman named John Gwilliam who later captained his country's rugby team, 'carrying a small German soldier by the scruff of his neck, not unlike a cat with a mouse.' The Colonel said: 'Why not shoot him?' Gwilliam replied in his mighty Welsh voice: 'Oh no, sir. Much too small.'Comment

Well folks did I go for it?
The seller is absolutely insistent that the hewer is genuine. He says he has had more than one dealer offer to buy it from him but, of course, at dealer prices. He wasn't very happy when I suggested passing on it (remember I bought this on a BIN) and on further thought I decided to go through with it. I know doubts have been expressed about it but weighing everything up I think it is ok although it looks like it's been around a bit.
Thanks for the advice fellas it was taken onboard and I think I'll take the chance.
Oh, and Tyler, the other one you found for me; I've bought that one as well

identical Alcoso R.A.D
Hello.
I saw the identical ALCOSO R.A.D EM dagger that David C posted at the San Diego Militaria show-it was going for $450-now that I got a chance to handle it in person im more inclined to believe its OK-thats still odd that they have no RAD patent mark-I guess just an early piece-Im a tuff sell -I can find a flaw in anything!!I prefer to make a mistake and assume something is no good and miss out on a good item rather than get burned with a item that i assume is good only to find out later its no good
-I will continue to ask around and research this particular maker of R.A.D EM daggers and let you guys know what i find out-
