Any opinions on this grip? Definately original but I have alays wondered about the shape it doesn't seem cemetric at the bottom crossguard. shows signs of being taken apart on top crossguard(arghhh).want to list for sale but would like opinions before doing so maybey someone has seen this type of "flaw" if you will before?

Hello, Reds! Is the reverse the same as the obverse? Is it an RZM dagger? Regards, teufel

If that's the only "flaw", I wouldn't worry about it.

This is a nonmarked blade. I would say the reverse is the same. I've never doubted originality was curious if anyone ever noticed this on any other grips?

I wouldn't be concerned about it. It's possible one side has been repaired and that is the reason for the mismatch. But, I don't see any evidence of repair. It appears to be an "Eickhorn" grip assembly and that maker was a little "loose" with their grip fits and finishing. Could the blade be a ground Rohm?

I have two early SAs that look exactly the same
