Not for me. The lower crossguard doesn't belong to this Klaas dagger.
Most of the early daggers, and definitely Klaas, always had districtmarkings on the back of the lower crossguard.
A roman number I,II or III.
The stamped 'Ho' what you see is on a crossguard that belonged to an SA-dagger! So, partsdagger...
That would be then the reason why the fitting grip/lower crossguard isn't perfect as you would expect on early SS-daggers.
The SS-runesbutton also isn't the type that Klaas used on his daggers. So, grip also possible not belonged to this dagger/blade.
The blade also looks like it was cleaned at some point...
Offcourse that is my opinion.
The dagger just wouldn't do it for me as I expect perfection
on the daggers that I buy.
