Although uncommon, some guards were plated. Looking at the photo of the upper one again, the plating loss does not appear to look the same as that typically seen on zinc-based guards. It could also be the plating was done post-war. The scabbard could be a later match-up to the dagger, but, for some unusual reason, it could be original to it. It does appear that the dagger itself is likely original.
