5/26/20 - This is a rare RAD Enlisted Rank's Hewer dagger. Overall in good collectible condition with all original parts. The forged steel blade of this dagger is maker stamped by Tiger, and has a RJ RAD triangle above the maker stamp. There's also light oxidation throughout the blade as shown in photos. The majority of the oxidation is light, and has no texture, but there are some darker spots that do dip into the steel and have texture when you run your finger over them. The RAD motto, “Arbeit Adelt”, (Labor ennobles) is etched in modified Old English script into the surface of obverse of the blade. The blade also has some very light surface scratches and scabbard run marks. The scabbard has minimal paint loss, but overall no dents and all screws in tact. All original and authentic.
