Scarce seldom seen lion-trademarked bright polished steel blade by Spitzer that produced RLB and some SA daggers also. This isn`t the very early orange grip and brass base-metal style but the later done yellow grip and steel scabbard era dagger. The trademark disc is located farther down the blade than an early produced dagger, brown leather washer intact. Bright silver plated finish to eagle crossguard, ferrule band, pommel and to scabbard for matching finish-look overall. Yellow grip has darker recesses. Single screw to scabbard throat w/only age being some minor rust patina to scabbard tip and odd detail to the steel hanger rings that never got soldered. This could have been one of the last pre-war Army Daggers Done by Spitzer!
