Hi guys!
I'm not an edge weapon collector and was lucky enought to pick up this beautiful SS dagger from a great guy & dagger expert a couple of years ago. My questions are, I believe I was told that it's an early Herder 1933 SS dagger with parts N/S? It looks like the handle is smaller than others I've been viewing on this table? Also this maker made good quality daggers?
Anything you guys can help fill me in on would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Greg

Herder in known for thinner grip than other SS daggers. What concerns me are the eagle and the SS emblem in the grip. I think both may have been replaced, and the SS emblem is fake.

I would say,a parts dagger.

some parts are period,some not

Edit:

from those pics the blade looks fine to me!

Why protect the "expert"? If he is so esteemed this rune button would not have legitimately slipped by him without him knowing!!!!!

Original, but looks to be very heavily cleaned.
