Blackrad, first let me welcome you to the forum.
The crossguard seems to be typical for a WKC manufactured dagger. Is there a maker mark on the blade? What I can see from the pics the dagger seems to be an original one. also the hangers seem to be ok. I am not totally sure about the portepee, would need a close in hand inspection.
The condition of the dagger is quite nice.

Thank you for your answer Wotan.
There is no mark anywhere (except DRGM on the hangers).

No problem because of the unmarked blade concerning originallity.

Looks good to me, unmarked WKC, I'd even go with the knot being good as well though as Wotan says an hands on inspection would be necessary to say 100%. The ball of the portepee looks quite long, most of the repro's I have seen have a much more stubby ball.If the portepee is good then it's in exceptional condition.

Hello, I'm no expert but as yours is a twin to my WKC I'd say yours is one also.
