I picked this up a few weeks ago from an elderly woman, she found it under a car seat when she and her husband bought a used car years ago. The grip is an early nickel silver SA grip assembly. The blade is an unmarked SS blade, the type found on a m36 chained dagger and the scabbard is a late painted/plated SA scabbard but oddly there are no screws holding the fittings on the scabbard. Was this a piece that a GI mixed up or was this put together after the war to sell to GI's? All the parts appear to be original, but I could be wrong, take a look and let me know. Any and all opinions are welcome.

Someone slapped that together 4 sure, parts look good though.
What luck, finding a SA/SS hybrid under a seat !

Grip is unique, I'd consider mating it to a proper blade, and maybe hope to luck into some better fitting fittings.

Interesting thing is lack of the scabbard screws. I owned once a dagger (can't remember the maker) with no screws to the upper (plated steel)fitting.

I suspect that even as a parts piece the daggers now worth more than the car it was purchased with!!

Crossguards appear to be E. Pack.

Nice fittings!

Now if it only had one a dem Hunlein signatures...Heh Heh

Once, in 1986, I found a loaded .380 semi auto handgun under the seat of a car I bought, a 308 GTSI from the local Ferrari dealer. I sold the gun and the car as all my Corvette buddies stomped the daylights out of the car. It looked good though when it was parked.
