Hello,
so this is my example but I am worried about the item.
The guard semm to be a galvano or something like this and the whole grip seem to be restored.
The blade may have a markers mark like an arrow an could be from 1500 but also this is not sure.

What exactly are your concerns, your rondel dagger looks unusual but does not look bad.

the blade and grip look authentic to me also the construction of the ring under the guardplate and the backplate are ok.

the guardplate itself, Iam not sure yet, is not very clear in the pictures.

best,
jasper

Thanks Jasper,

this both parts look too new for me, just a feeling.
