SA Dagger Maker Mark Question

[themilitaryman]

Do these marks look correct for a SA dagger?
Thanks

polished water damage?

Here are a couple more pictures. The suspension ring is gone on the dagger though

It looks like an Eickhorn transitional to me without the word "Original". It's hard to tell from the picture though.

I agree with the above... blade over polished and the word, "original", is missing from the maker mark.

IMO... you need more photos and better ones if you're considering to make a purchase.

Let's see:

Later/RZM vintage piece
Missing the scabbard ring
Over-polished/spotted blade
Bubbling to plating on crossguards
The list goes on and on...

If you're gonna buy an RZM-marked piece, it needs to have more going for it than this on...save your money, hopefully for an early, maker-marked piece.

My two cents',
