OMG this dagger is not disambled, it is fragmented.....
It will never be the same as before.
I admit, the fragmentation might be somehow helpful to judge this item(parts), but from collector´s side it is in no way desirable.
What I can see from these pics this has once been a nice, relatively early/mid period dagger and are still period government dagger parts.
Nevertheless, because of the high quality fakes which do exist it is highly recommended that the piece(s) is/are proofed "in hands" by an experienced collector.
