RAD leader dagger for review

[imperialhelmets]

Hi,
I'm a collector of ww1 items, mainly spiked helmet, but I ran across 2 RAD daggers recently, a leader's type and a EM type, here are the pics of the leader's one, for review, advise and estimate, thanks a lot for your help

Hi Steve,

The RAD Leader is one of my favorite designs and this one appears to be complete...though the metalwork has had a hard life. Probably stored in wet or damp conditions, which has taken its toll on the blade and the plating on the scabbard and hilt. Nice to see this piece with undamaged grips and a fine hanger.

Frohe Weihnachten,
