SA-dagger Paul seilheimer, good or bad?

[eightball]

Hi
I have, what I belive, is a early sa-dagger made by Paul seilhaimer, but is it good or bad?

Well from the provided pictures looks like a nice original example . Hard to tell but the blade may have been polished . JMO

From what I can see looks good to me.

What is this on the blade, where it meets the croos guard? Is it a leather washer? If so, I would suggest to take the leather washer off the blade and check the fitting of the blade to the cross guard. If there´s no major gap, you have a fine SA dagger there.

No problems with this dagger. I don't think it's the leather washer, it seems to be reflection of the blade on the crossguard bottom.

I agree, it looks a blade reflection at crossguard to me too. I don't think this blade was polished, may be only cleaned. This bright is a picture effect under artificial light. Looks a nice one IMO.

Good one and not often seen maker mark on SA daggers.

Hi
It is a reflection of the blade, not leather. Sorry for the bad pictures.

Then I can sleep well, now that I know it's a original, thank you all
