Good afternoon. This is my first-ever post to the forum. I wondered if I could get feedback on this RAD Officer's Dagger? Is it authentic? It was purchased in an Austrian antique shop several years ago. Thank you for your help.

Looks good except I don't see the screw that hold the grip plates on!

Uncle Fred,,
Welcome to the forum!
Höller is a scarce maker of RAD Leader daggers. Yours looks correct & is quite nice overall, congrats!
Another member, Stingray, posted a Höller RAD a year or two ago that had grip plates made out of what appeared to be bone. Can you tell of the grip plates are celluloid or something else?

Best I can tell, having not taken it apart, is that the grip plates are celluloid. Thanks for the comments!

Looks good now that I see the screw for the grip plated.

Hello, nice original group. Even the hangers are original.

A very nice conditioned original. I have always liked the Rad leaders. I have three of them, one with orange grips. and one with the Eichorn quality tag.
Thanks,
Bob
