UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SS Dagger Forum Would Reconditioned early 36 be difficult to sell

The M36 that started this thread is a classic example of why daggers should not be restored.Please correct me if I am wrong.Early EM daggers had anodized scabbards,The latter RZM had painted scabbards. The early solid nickel type II chained SS daggers were painted the latter RZM were anodized scabbards.Why this is the case I do not know. If the scabbard was not restored there is an extremly good chance that the center scabbard band could be lowered and paint or anodization would remain.If anodization remained we could say look this is an extremly rare dagger because of the foregoing comments.Now we will never know because it has been restored.For historical accuracy it would be better if it had 10% of its original anodization instead of 100% restoration to look pretty
