I purchased this dagger at auction this week. It is my first complete SA. It appears all original early dagger. It is stamped with gruppe Ns. My concerns are that the blade has a good amount of streaks or wear from going in and out of scabbard and i would like to know if the lacquer/shiny finish on the handle and scabbard are original or applied later. I tried to take good pics of the dagger and the finish but found it difficult due to reflections. The finish on scabbard is kind of "swirly".

everything is tight and it has good weight to it.

Any comments to help confirm if I got a good example or not are appreciated.
