Hello,
This is my first post here and I have the opportunity to purchase this RAD leaders dagger made by WKC. I have never had one before and have searched extensively for comparable WKC's with almost no success. The photos I have are not the greatest, but I hope there is enough detail to make a call one way or the other.

I should add that I believe the blade has been cleaned or polished. Any input is appreciated on whether to pursue the purchase or let this one fly with the wind.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello bbmilitaria,
due to the server-forumbreakdown there was no earlier answering possible.
From these pics I cannot see anything wrong with this RAD leader hewer.
I even do not think that the blade has been polished (again from these pics which do not show much in this direction) but I think some spaces had become dull because of age or little corrosion and others did stay bright.
But this would be a case for an in hand inspection by an experienced collector.
Regards,


wotan, gd.c-b#105

Than you wotan for the reply. That makes me feel much better about proceeding with the purchase of the hewer. I appreciate your help and opinions.
