My first RAD Dagger... Is it Good!

[lavagna]

Good-day Gents

Just received my first RAD Dagger in the post. These are very rare to find in South Africa, so when it was advertised on a local auction site for R5000 ($625) with very bad pictures I was very nervous.

I took a chance and it arrived today.

I think it's real (a bit heavy though for a dagger at 1.026kg) but seems solid and well made.

Different stamp numbers on the scabbard and grip with a brown but unpainted scabbard.

Anyway, any opinions will be greatly appreciated. If it is a dud I do have a money back promise from the seller. So, don't worry about hurtung my feelings.

Thanks
Bruce

I like it.

That is a mark that I haven't seen on a RAD before.. the one that I have on an early full stag one is a double oval serrated tail, but without the CE.

Nice catch and a pretty nice price.
