Daggers aren't really my area, but I think I ought to start learning!! I have been offered this SA dagger, not sure whether to bother with it or not, sorry about the pictures they were taken on a dull day in the rain in a field . The dagger looks to me as if it has had a hard life, it has wf on the crossguard, I guess for Westfalen. I haven't seen this maker before, so is it common, unusual, fake, original, what is it worth any info would be appreciated.....

While the photos are lacking and I can't find the maker in any of my reference books, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's an original dagger. As you say, its had a fairly hard life, but if the price is right it looks like a nice starter piece. If you want to learn daggers, you've got to start somewhere.Ignored Due To Invisibility.

The maker is considered rare 1/1000 according to my reference material. Given the pictures, I would estimate it's value to be $500.00 to $750.00 depending upon better pictures and overall condition.

Originally posted by Rich YankowskiFisher's reference book rates this maker as rare.I would concur with mpaul's price range.The grip probably could be repaired,and seeing that it's a rare maker,it might be worth it!

Thanks for all the comments and PM's chaps. I haven't bought the dagger yet, as I wanted to get opinions. Basically the guy wants £220 (approx $395) he won't come down any more, so initially I thought that was to expensive for it, but if it is a rare maker then I guess that is a different ball game!

Personally I don't wet my knickers over "RARE" maker mark SA's but I think I would pay £220 for a pre-RZM in this condition.

David.At Rathau on the Aller, the CO of 5th Royal Tanks advanced on foot to take a cautious look into the town before his tanks moved in. He encountered one of his own officers, a huge Welshman named John Gwilliam who later captained his country's rugby team, 'carrying a small German soldier by the scruff of his neck, not unlike a cat with a mouse.' The Colonel said: 'Why not shoot him?' Gwilliam replied in his mighty Welsh voice: 'Oh no, sir. Much too small.'
