A friend of mine was interested in this dagger, but I don't like the center fitting. I'm not a big fan of copper eagles. He wanted an opinion on the dagger, and these are his only pics. Thanks

John,
There not a lot left in which to be interested. I don't see problems with what remains.
Copper eagles are seen now and then. The theory is that the plating process was flawed and the plating fell off. The center fitting looks OK. But the real question is why would anyone bother to fake up something this badly off?

The blade to lower cross guard fit doesn't look too good.
