This is a beautiful unmarked Richard Abr. Herder Heer (army) Officer Dagger. Uncleaned and without evidence of ever having been modified, this dagger is a real gem. Nickel plated fittings are almost 100%, with no signs of plate loss, bubbling or peeling. The cross guard is nice and crisp in terms of detail, with the original scabbard buffer seated in place on the underside. The grip is dirty but nice, with only a minor chip to note. The pommel cap has some surface imperfections, but is otherwise in great shape. The grip and crossguard are a bit loose, but we did not attempt to tighten as this could lead to thread damage. Loose grips are not uncommon.

The scabbard is also a nice nickel plated version, with oversize hanger rings. There is a single small dent about two inches below the lower hanger ring (seen in photos).

The blade is not perfect, but certainly very worthy of a nice display piece. Aside from some residual oil and dirt that comes off with the swipe of the finger, there are some gray corrosion spots near the blade tip on both sides, extending from the tip to about 3 inches up the blade (see photos).
