Hi chaps.

I especially would appreciate the views of experienced collectors in this field. I have the opportunity to purchase the attached dagger, but I am not sure if this is original, and if it is, what school this dagger belongs to.

Many thanks for any expert opinions.

sorry not a real/period example cheers Ryan

Not even close, look at any real SA grip, and you can see the wood is wrong and the stamping is amateurish.

Thank you guys, I appreciate that.

Yes totally wrong that MM etch is awful

horrible
