Not really rare and not really mint but overall nice conditioned for an early one.
Scabbard with 100% original paint and very very few spidering, just to show it�s original.
Nice one. appears to have the early grips and brass rivets. I believe this is a scarce maker.
Does the scabbard have one runner? Can you tell if the rivet on the scabbard is copper? Is the leather brown? Russ
RussN, the scabbard has only one runner, the rivet (I think you mean the one in the middle of the hanger) is steel (shows minute rust), the leather is chocolate brown.
Seems like having hand checkered grip plates.
A very nice knife, Wotan!
I bet it is even better in real, because those scanners do not show the daggers from their best side in my opinion.
Super find!

Herr Mann, you are totally right those scans do not justice to a piece. But better to nothing.
