A couple things my friend. The maker mark looks funky but I suspect it`s your resizer program. The picture of the upper crossguard shows less than ideal fits between the wood and the crossguard. It`s been apart for sure, if ever given a choice, go for a virgin piece. Also the nut appears to be a different material than the crossguard, normally the matterial are the same. Ie a nickel nut with a nickel crossguard and plated nut with plated crossguards. Hope that helps some.

One other thing Vas. In my experience 99% of transitionals do NOT have a gau stamp. Good luck!

Sure it's original, but the condition is very poor. The blade is a junk.

2nd one has many obvious flaws but is still a legit historical item, so it depends on price. Probably worth about $200 USD, anything less I would hop all over it, more I would pass.

In today's market you need to give away this type of dagger when you sell it. You also can't put anything next to it as it will pull that down also. Truly a dagger a collector can not afford to have.

For if in the auction exceed that $ 200 USD is no longer an interesting Dagger for purchase, as I say only this dagger could be interesting in this condition so if the price is quite low, even so one is always clear by looking at other examples. .. I appreciate your comments and help.

Very nice tiger stripes Too bad the wood around insignia is damaged, looks like someone tried to take them out. It's also possible that original insignia were removed once and new set has been put in the handle. Otherwise dagger looks original.

Yes, I also think that their badges were replaced at the time by other originals, but as long as all 100% original I'm not worried, if the price is very good might consider it for future acquisition has provided no red flags.
Also I find it interesting to be in the early period.

Agree. RZM scabbard in very poor shape. The dagger is not much either, except for a nice trademark.

Thanks mates, I would not have imagined that this early Daga had a RZM pod, thank you very much for your help, then I will continue in my quest because that thing disagree with the dagger does not convince me, thank you very much and may soon you will teach another example for your analysis.
