That is one beauty and a great addition to any collection.

A really terrific TeNo Leader's dagger, certainly something to be proud of. These daggers are definitely under appreciated.
I agree with everyone. Beautiful TeNo Leader, very tough to find without going to a dealer and in my opinion as close to mint as you can get. Love the detail. Great addition.

Great to see there still out there.A Beauty
Lucky you, stunning dagger and that's what I call MINT.

Maybe it's just that I'm new to daggers, but the prices I've seen asked for these Teno daggers, they are far from unappreciated.

Harry,
They're underappreciated in terms of price to rarity. TeNo Leader daggers, as with Postschutz Leaders & HJ Leaders, are fairly scarce (if not rare) yet their prices do not reflect how scarce they are IMO. Compare prices of these to say SS M33 daggers, which are far more plentiful yet their prices have risen rather dramatically in recent years. I understand it's all supply & demand but I believe were TeNo daggers priced on their rarity alone, they would be priced relatively higher.
I agree with Billy... I could never understand the price difference between the very rare Teno, which is also a great looking dagger and don't get me started on the massive Teno hewer, vs the kinda plain and very commonly found SS pieces.
The infamy of the SS explains some of it, but, boy, I would have guessed that rarity and looks trump nasty.

Congrats. Great dagger. Number - 2881, is correct?
Thanks for your kind comments everyone. I was very lucky indeed to find this one.

This one is a "time capsule preservation" not the typical " sock draw kind! Outstanding condition. Very Nice!!
Odd number. The eights are head over heels.
