PHIL993, I personally have not seen any price difference between early and late models. There might be only minute differences in minute details and material differences in small parts. As far I can see in the pics the dagger shown here has still "early dagger parts" although already a late mm on the blade, so no remarkable quality loss here.
No problem, I can understand any impatience when you want to buy a certain dagger or it is offered to you and you urgently need a judgement.
Regards,
