Gentlemen, I've finally found my dream dagger after more than 3 years of search. The reason why it took me so long is simply because I always wanted to have an early M33 type dagger and these are extremelly rare. The scabbard has been releathered but everything else is 100% original. The gilding on the blade is just amazing and is at least + 70% present and untouched. Much of the varnish is still remaining on the grip and the silver eagle inlay is really beautiful. Perhaps, one day will I be able to find an SA Honor  with an all original scabbard's leather but for now, I will stick with this one.  Needless to say that I'm completely broke for the Max but thanks to Serge and Johnny V, I will at least try and survive on beer alone while sitting at their table.  Thank you for watching guys.
