Hi Husme. The contract # 1203/38 is quite fine. Must have been a keying error and is now corrected. in my RZM guide http://www.lakesidetrader.com/rzm.html
Sorry for any confusion.
As far as the early nickel crossguards with a gau stamp on this one with a RZM blade... well it would be cause for me to think twice.

[Husme]

Thanks for your explanation, for his advice also ..

some more comments?

I think paul sumed it up RZM blade , nickle crossguard which is group marked for an SA dagger , grip marks on the pommel nut , hanger on back to front , rune, eagle and motto covered , it doesnt give you much to work with , the low number imo would not be coupled with an RZM blade .......

cheers steve

Do you have a better close-up from the TM?

Thanks zander,I also think that there are several things that do not fit into this dagger.

Rheingold, unfortunately the only photos that the dealer has in its web, I do not want to insist to send me better pictures, because I stopped being interested.
Thanks anyway
