A low number indeed and an oddity to be on a dagger issued years later. That’s said, could it have been a replacement for a dagger severely damaged or lost?
I say this because I once sourced an NPEA dagger that had a very low school number. The dagger however had all the hallmarks of a much later produced dagger but the number was a conundrum. The font was perfect too. I showed it to an advanced collector whose opinion I implicitly trust and the theory was that the dagger was a replacement.
I’d be curious to know what the inside of the crossguard looks like and whether the gunk is all consistent inside or is some missing to reflect recent stamping.
