Your dagger is AUTHENTIC as is. Your efforts to IMPROVE it will NOT. It came to you being this way for 80 years...Removing the grip will likely damage it. The cracking is a cellulose layer applied to a wooden form. Dagger handles were made many different ways and these tended to surface crack. The best advice from dagger guys is NEVER take a dagger apart . But hey, it's yours to take care of after surviving all these years. Ruin it if you must.
Your mug is a parody of Hermann Goering.
