Re: Diplomat Dagger offered as the real deal, Opinions please
Hi, an original one of these would be worth $6000 plus....
This is a fake. Shape of the grip is wrong, note how it curves, it should be straighter. Grip plates should be real mother of pearl. Overall the quality is lacking.
Cheers, Ade.

I also want to add that green patina, most likely verdigris, is most likely to form on nickel silver and brass because 70 to 80% of the alloy consists of copper. It is a positive sign pointing to originality of the dagger.

[I] have checked in the reference books that I have and they state''In 1938 Hitler authorized senior members of the Diplomatic Corps to wear a very Elegant 39 cm long dagger with a stylized eagle's head pommel'' There were two makers of this dagger,A. Coppel and C. Eickhorn.I think the key word is elegant which the dagger you have posted is not and I cannot tell from the photos that they are marked.If I were you I would pass .Check out some of the recommended sites on this forum and you will not have to worry about buying a fake.Regards Operaman
