2nd Model RLB Officer's Dagger – Alcoso

[josh105]

Here's one in tough condition. I believe to be an original. I'm not sure about the hangers but they seem to be original to the dagger... It's got some unfortunate condition issues (missing RLB button, blade tip, and leather on scabbard).

Looks original, albeit salty. Hangers also look period although the pictures aren't the best to tell. Alcoso made 1st models too, many of which were likely converted into 2nd models. That's the maker mark one would expect too.

Just curious, is there a waffenamt mark on one of the crossguard arm ends?

If trying to restore it, I would think an original grip emblem would be a very difficult object to find. The scabbard leather can always be redone.

Looks like a original. I would keep the hanger and sell the dagger to upgrade.
