It is difficult to tell anything from the photos, since they are so blurry. Do you have clearer ones?

Hi BerberDagger,
In a book I have, the examples of Shutzstaffel daggers don't have the stamped floral motifs on the scabbard tip and the guard, they are plain. I also don't see the circular stamp that is visible on yours...and I understand that WWII/Nazi militaria is notoriously prone to faking...maybe someone else can say if it's real.

Maybe this will help for those unable to click on the above link

:
Welcome to the Ethnographic Arms and Armour Forum, an on-line community of collectors, researchers and enthusiasts of what can be termed "ethnographic" weapons and armor. What is "ethnographic," you might ask? We define the term, for the purposes of this site, as a weapon other than the standardized military models of the past few centuries and is likely a product of an individual artisan working according to traditional patterns as opposed to a product of modern mass industrial production. Militaria is thereby excluded by definition. Modern custom knives would qualify as an artifact of our own "culture", but will not be considered here, as they are better represented elsewhere.

Be sure to read the thread on Forum rules, policies and guidelines before posting.

Again, welcome, and we hope you will enjoy participating in the discussions.

The Vikingsword Staff

These are not ethnographic items.

Bernard can tell you if they are real or fake.

Understand, we're not chasing you away, BerberDagger.

Its just that we don't have much expertise on this forum for these kinds of weapons. They just don't fit

, so you are better off asking about these particular ones on one of the forums more oriented toward Western military arms.

The definition of an "ethnographic weapon" found in the posting guidelines is really for the purpose of informing people of the kind of interest and expertise they are likely to find here.
