Gentlemen, this is a well worn Zollgrenzschutz or land custom dagger. The Portepee is frozen to the hilt and can't be removed. The dagger shows the right amount of wear, I love those traces when you can see where the Portepee rubbed against the crossguard arm. No, this is not a minty from outside, but the blade is so nice. Crossgrain to the tip, really lovely. Thanks to Ron Weinand who gave me important help with his knowledge about this dagger. Thank you for your thoughts in advance. Best; Flyingdutchman

This is a very nice specimen of a H�RSTER custom dagger with honest wearing traces. You see, this dagger has been there. History pure. Now you need a "wearing.." pic  . Regards,

As Wotan says, this piece is history itself. What I like about it its character & obvious originality. Great looking display too!
