Understood Friend. As far as my answer to the scabbard screws being a minor hair not flush to the upper chape............... one has to ask themselves ............ can a grip eagle be crooked ? Can a pommel not be flush on the top crossguard ? Can the wood on the grip overhang the crossguard a bit ? Can an SS runes in a grip be at an angle ? Yes to all of these and as long time collectors, we've seen all of these minor imperfections. Why even a Pack SA/SS daggers will have offset screws on the bottom chape of the scabbard. The screw placement and flushment look fine actually. Appreciate the help and enjoy the discussion, as always Fred.
