Hi, I am considering this dagger but I am asking the expertise of the forum's senior members!
The blade is fine, I have seen other 121/34 on the wesites of extremely well known (and serious!) dealers and the motto matches one of the different versions I found, the RZM is perfect,guards seem fine too, as well as the grip and the SS button, what about the eagle?

You know that the scabbard is a fresh repaint?
And also can we see pics of the logo

Thanks Emil, it was fun to read the whole post!
I think I am definitely getting the dagger What product do you use to clean the blade? did you clean the guards or you left the original patina?

Flavio, I left it as it was found.. Really like them old salty with that patina..
There are better conditioned daggers out there to be found .I would look for a piece that has not been messed with, definitely not with a repainted scabbard. But If you have a good price on your dagger and you are happy with it.. Go for it..its your choice. But remember a untouched unmessed piece is more desirable..

Thanks Emil, This absolutely makes sense, in the meean time I just found an original Herder in decent shape and NO repainted scabbard, I'll get it next week so I can calm the urge and save bigger money for a more important piece when it will show up
