Sometimes you just have to stump up for quality.
Early slant grip, stepped tang, 14 leaf pommel, all fittings are silver, no dents, no dings, blade is very minty.

Strange configuration for me. The slant grip seems out of place on this dagger with the non tapered tang and generic crossguard.

I Agree with Tom i have seen tapered tangs with "B" type grips but not the other way around, as i remember the type "A" generic crossguard would be correct for this maker. For what's it's worth nice grip and WMW blade though.

Opinions are always welcome,many thanks for those, the dagger has an overall appearance of being together for it's entire life, I like it, I'm certainly not concerned with the lack of a tapered tang, it might not be textbook but it is an original configuration in my eyes, I have and will always be happy with it.
