Nice one David, as for price you've got me...it all looks period to me though.

[inimicus]

thanks man.

Wittman has an RLB 2 Leader for sale at $3,500. The hangers would sell for an additional $1,000 on his site as well.

So, we have a dealer price of $4,500.

E-stand would be at a discount to that, but add in the value of a really nice looking blade,... ???

Bowing your direction, john!

inimicus: are you sure the hilt fittings are aluminum and not zinc diecast? I have an RLB EM dagger with zinc hilt fittings and nickel silver scabbard fittings. This combination is not exactly common but it does happen.

IMO your set is original and a nice one to boot.

[inimicus]

thanks cog: ya got me. did the factory polish and maybe also lacquer zinc fittings? looks like alu to me but I'm no metallurgist... also what weighs more zinc or alu? zinc I think. I guess I cd. undo the pommel and guard but that might not be prudent....

[cogwheel]

Aluminum is much lighter than zinc. Zinc fittings were usually polished,nickel plated and possibly laquered.

[inimicus]

so, zinc or alu, bit unusual but not a problem mixed with the other nickel fittings? thanks again mate.
