Pommel, scabbard and cross guard are late Alcoso. Blade is quite eary WKC being made approx 1930-32--so-- parts dagger.I would guess the "finish" is a flash coat for the zinc and steel parts and the late gold finish possibly never was applied.But--with these last shots I see what appears to be gold in the recesses of that scabbard.
