The cook is ready to eat! Blade shows some minor age in the form of age spots most likely from old fingerprints. Motto is crisp and nice black! All the crossgrain is there but there are runner marks. The blade rates an easy Exc+/Exc++. Scabbard is in good shape with perfect anodizing and nearly all the lacquer!! It's got that copper color collectors so love to see. There is some bruising to the ball but it still maintains it's original shape. The fittings show period wear and much matching patina. The fittings are nickel silver. All screws are intact! Hardwood handle displays good grain and if free of chips and cracks. Eagle is perfectly fit with patina to the recesses. Roundel retains 100% of enamel. The handle shoulders and radii nicely fit the solid nickel guards. The crossguard is stamped "Om" Ostmark, which is correct for this maker, (see Fisher's guide). Difficult to find these stamps as many were liberated by the Russians and went back there never to be seen again. Blade is nicely set into the crossguard. All the patina matches everywhere. All the fits are there and exactly like I try to buy 'em- never been apart! This is a nice dagger with original short hanger.
