Joe / Wagner:
Look at the crossgrain marking on Patrice's dagger shown above. That is what it should look like. The marks on the dagger you show are not correct.And, there are some strange grind marks near the tip in the second picture.
The third and fourth photo show very different colors on the top and bottom of the grip. I think it is a poorly refinished grip, but that is just my opinion.
I cannot tell about the variety of scabbards you posted in that pic Joe, but I can yell you that the closeups you posted have a look that I would not touch.
I would say return the dagger.
Dave
