I don't see anything wrong in this combination of crossguard and maker mark. Textbook I would say.

Flared pommel is correct IMO is it fixed? can you unscrew it? many I have come across by this maker are fixed and will not undo. Be careful though.....use finger tips only you do not want to shred the thread smile

The Alcoso army daggers with the high-lift crossguards came with both ACS and AWS maker marks.

Absolutely correct high lift.

Alcoso used a method to lock their pommels on late model daggers. Do not try to unscrew the pommels if it does not unscrew easily, you could damage your dagger.
