I would agree with the others in saying don't clean the dagger. I have a full stag RAD and the scabbard fittings are tarnished black. While there's less contrast with the black anodized scabbard, it still looks great because it took 80 years to get that way. Most collectors would only want a piece that has not been cleaned up, in case you ever want or need to sell it, something to think about too.

Bret, great Postschutz!
