BEAUTIFUL!!!

Looks original to me. The fittings do look to be silver but you won't know for sure until it arrives. I only have one dagger in my collection without a guard and think that it did originally have one. I cannot tell by the pictures if there is even room for one on this piece though. If money wasn't so tight right now

I would have been trying to add this to my own collection. All that I can say is congratulations on a very nice score and that I am very happy that you could add this to yours.
