Hello, I see pics of my personal "...wearing..." collection spread over the net.... sick
Yes, normally this portepee has been worn. Some collectors like to pimp up custom daggers with these portepees with green stipes. I have a lot of "...wearing.." pics of custom officials and in NO one there is a portepee with green stripes.

There are several manfacturers (eg. ALCOSO, HOERSTER and more) which did use this certain grip wire. Perhaps with the soehow distinct scabbard throat and how the scaabbard fittings are fixed gives a clue who could have manufactured bthis dagger.

Regards,
