I ,would pass on it because of poor detail an the odd design style of the makers mark.

I don't know these daggers very well but something that immediately captured my attention was the maker mark... It's too clean


Regards, Wim

Yes, I have also a problem with the maker mark, but it has a nice patina, it is a very good fake.

Go

While at first glance it looks very good, once you examine the crossguard, scabbard top and blade mark, suddenly questions. Bad pock marks in the eagle (bad casting), poor definition to the top of the scabbard and seams on the side (also doesn't look like an Alcoso scabbard to me) and thinning to silver on the backstrap of the eagle with no other wear (probably flowers of sulfur to the fittings for aged patina).
I would pass.
