This is a nice example of an RZM period WKC SA Dagger. The blade is really nice, with excellent cross-graining and only slight age. It does not appear to have been cleaned or polished, and the motto is crisp. The reverse of the blade is etched on the ricasso with the round RZM emblem and the maker code “M7/42” indicating manufacture by WKC in Solingen. The handle on this dagger is gorgeous, with beautiful light color shades on the rosewood grip. The crossguards are nickel plated. They show no wear, and retain all of the plating, with bright original luster. The aluminum grip eagle is very clean, and contrasts nicely with the grip, and the RZM roundel is intact, with no enamel damage. This WKC SA dagger is complete with its original scabbard. The nickel plated scabbard fittings match the grip fittings perfectly, and are near mint. The scabbard body has lovely, glossy brown enamel paint. All of the scabbard screws are present, the suspension ring is intact, and there are no dents or damage. This dagger is loaded with eye appeal, and is in a very strong excellent plus condition.
