Looks like a nice, original & early Horster to me.

Looks like a nice dagger with the 1st WKC some of these are internally numbered but unlikely this one is without the slant grip and double scabbard screws.

Nice early transitional piece! Non slant grip and they had moved to the single rear screw scabbard. Be interesting to see if it is internally marked and a tapered tang...bet it at least has the tapered tang! Kevin.
