This early SS M33 would have come with a blued scabbard, not a brown anodized one painted over black. So, in my opinion, is not the scabbard that accompanied this dagger.
The dagger APPEARS to be original, but condition is not good. I would look elsewhere.

The dagger looks orginal, but heavily polished.

A blade polished like that will always be a turn off to collectors since the blade is what draws most peoples' attention. Polished to hell (note the soft edges in the motto), remains of pitting, doesn't look so nice at all. I would agree with my learned fellow collectors & recommend you find another that is better conditioned.

I agree with the above assessments of my colleagues.
It's too bad since the grip is nice with the classic "Klass" "fat runes" in the 1 and 7 o'clock position. Crossguards are nice that belong to the grip.

I agree with Wags. Definitely too bad 'cause thats a wonderful grip.

Thanks all

Klass Blade ???

The Forms of the Letters on blade motto: Do Not look like original Klass. Please show whole blade Motto. Is there a Roman Numeral on reverse of lower crossguard?
