I'm new to the forum but have been collecting militaria for many years. I'm seeing lots of great stuff here and the technical exchanges are great! I was fortunate enough to pick this early SS dagger up from a vet's estate just recently. It was too good to be true and it took me a while to even react (listed as German knife). The deal got even better when I got home to inspect it further. I have no doubts on it but am open to any opinions/comments from others. This is a 120/34 that has all the quality nickle fittings and is tricked out with the original 1934 hanger that came with the piece complete with extra strap. I acquired a RAD leader form the same estate and will try to post that also.....had to try out the camera. I need to get this listed on my insurance policy so if you guys have an idea of replacement cost I'd appreciate it. Please check out all the photos. Any suggestions on how to take better photos are also welcomed. Thanks!

Replacement cost is perhaps $3500 to $4000 IMO. Nice dagger. Smile
