It has lots going for it IMHO. Like the earlier poster said a hard type of dagger to tell without in hand but it ticks off a lot of boxes for me. One question I would have would be about the tang marking. Double ended arrow is what would be looked for but the placing of it seems rather close to the end. May be no problem with it placed there but seems different then others I have looked at.

It looks like the underside of the scabbard frog stud is marked as expected. Is the scabbard ball magnetic? It should be made of steel.

Yes, magnetic

Ok magnetic ball is another necessary point checked off. Can you tell what markings are in the cross guards. I can make out a divot in one side of the bottom one and that is good but cant tell by the pictures what other markings are there. Are the cross guards aluminum?
