I don't want to rehash my position on this design again, but, as some of you will remember, I had stated that the design of this blade was from a 1930s Solingen manufacturer's catalog of a foreign piece entitled: Mine Official's Dagger. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the catalog or the company, but I remember seeing the piece and the hilt was slightly different from the EM RAD and had a shield shaped design on the langent and had crossed miner's hammers on the shield.
I believe the country was either Finland or Holland, but can't remember forsure and can't find the catalog in my old stash.
Can anyone help?
It was more of a line drawing and the scabbard had two ring mount fittings with a bottom fitting similar to the design of the top ringed fitting. Metal scabbard, but slightly more narrow than the RAD EM.
