JR: Scabbard appears to be reanodized and lacqueured. While some blade photos look okay, others reveal a definite buffing to the blade. While value is subjective, I would sell it for $8000 to $10,000 if I had it. It looks like the work of Manfred Vogel, a very nice man who restores "shot" daggers as a hobby. You can spot his work, but I'm sure the dagger in question looked a LOT worse before the restoration.
