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. Emanuel |

![]() 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.

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

Berberdagger,
I completely agree with Mark. But I can tel you that the ss-dagger is a new made replica. I recognize this thing, because I see those daggers often here in Holland. About the other dagger, the pictures are not good enough but I'm afraid it is a replica too. A real german WWII dagger is extremely expensive and you need a very good and reliable dealer for this stuff. And even then, when they handle a well made replica, they sometimes are mistaken. |
