Well the obvious, a stress or fracture to the left corner on the obverse, mushroomed out lower scabbard chape ball, somewhat tired blade, repainted scabbard, and stuffed in the scabbard shell the wrong way....

Thanks for opinion. but repainted scabbard re you 100 % shure about that ?
Ok some small worn dents but for me is untuched and uncleaned M33 Böker .

From what I see JR is 100% correct on this dagger.

The dagger itself and the scabbard fittings look good to me, including honest age and wear -- especially the crushed ball -- but the scabbard body is just too new to be un-tampered-with. It reminds me of an elderly gentleman with coal black dyed hair...

bokers of this period left the factory with a blued scabard (anodised to collectors) not painted

[nickn]

the klass in your link has a repainted scabbard as is shown by the circle
it would have left the factory with a chemically blued scabbard like yours would have done
when the blue wore thin they were often period painted black
