Nice... perfect fit all round. Its quite strange, often these unissued pieces have badly corroded crossguards. Very nice example you have there...

I've find the 2 unissued dagger (the RZM M7/1 & RZM M7/37) by a french collector.
He sell his dagger for buy sword now.
The RZM M7/1 is mine now.
The other will probably be mine in the next day...
I'd other unissued SA dagger in the past & the 2 crossguards were corroded.
On these 2 dagger, crossguards are perfect.
Nice...

yes, that's the problem with some of the plated zinc crossguards on otherwise mint RZM daggers..leave them alone and they will bubble up and corrode,devaluing the dagger slowly, year by year..

Is there anything one can do to stop this from happening? JohnJ

A nice thick coat of Hammerite should do the trick! 
If you want to criticise someone first walk a mile in their shoes. Then, when they come after you, you'll be a mile ahead and they'll be barefoot.

As far as I know, nothing can stop the decay. It is often called zinc rot or zinc pest and it is the underlying cheap materials eating through the covering. It often starts at the edges wher the chemicals in the wood seem to begin the process. Dave PS - it is also very common in German cast zinc toys well into the 1950's. I have a Marklin locomotive or two with advanced zinc rot
