This rad leaders dagger came out of a basement. No scabbard and rusted up the plating is coming off. So with that it will be a letter opener but my question with out me going to go look it up I am lazy. If I am correct the base metal was zinc very poor choice for a base by the way but what was the plating and was it burnished or has age made it this way.I may try to replate it .Before you guys say no don't do anything I too am one of those who says that all the time there is not much hope for this poor guy.I can never figure out how to resize pics so there will be none
