This looks like a good RZM SS to me. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the rune, as most of my experience has been with EM33's.

Can anybody see any red flags?

It looks good to me, overall. The grip runes look a little odd, but that could be tarnish and light reflection. From the photos, I can't see any signs it has been replaced.

Agreed. Looks like a good one.

Wear on the runes is commensurate with that on top hilt member look OK to me

Looks like a nice dagger to me as well. The runes do look different but that doesn't necessarliy mean there is a problem. If you haven't already checked, TW's SS book may have an example of the dagger/runes.

The Seller had the dagger pulled from eBay and then contacted me afterwards.

He has since relisted it:

I'm pretty confident that the Seller is okay but one thing that concerned me was that at one stage, he had the dagger listed twice, a few days apart from eachother. It's only listed once now with the link I have given above. Cheers, Scott

From one Scott to another,. follow your instincts about the double listing, mmmm.... suspicious, besides the location is alittle scary. Be cautious.

nice dagger but i would not buy from that country. just my opinion

I think the dagger is real, but it an RZM piece with the fittings rusting or peeling.

Czech Republic, only 10 feedbacks, cash only... For this amount of money, I would use an escrow service at least. And I bet he will refuse.

I'm 99% sure the Seller is legit. He has sold to the same Buyers I have, that are located in the States and none of them have had any problems with him.

The only downfall is the security of Paypal, which isn't accepted in every country.

Seller is 100% ok - have traded with him previously and have FULL confidence to him !
