Interesting one. I suspect the dagger and scabbard do not match, as why fit a leather stopper up by the ricasso when the scabbard is all leather itself? So it may have had a metal scabbard, suspended by a hanger of some sort. My feeling is post WW2 and Eastern European.
The "h" looks similar to a Celtic type font without all the embellishments ..

This is a very special home brew dagger.
Pommel is typical for German style small hunting or scouts knife.
Grip is a poor kopie of a luft 2nd model one.
Blade seems to be a luft 1st model, with a fantasy stamp
Scabbard is a post war one for a Hirschfanger, most like a Hubertus one.
This is how ugly they can come

Typical making something out of nothing.
I like the seem separation on the grip.
The " H " stands for Herman ( Goring )
this dagger thing belonged to him will will fetch thousands of dollars at any auction house

Larry, I don't quite understand your last post. Are you saying, that although this dagger is most likely pieced together, the "h" can possibly belonged/associated with Herman Goring? or at least the blade?... please expand on your thoughts..thanks
I think he meant that it is a made up piece, like many items that are said once belonging to some high ranking person, and it would fit if a made up history would come with it.
I believe it's generally known as sarcasm.

Thanks! I thought as much! I guess I was pretty gullible. I assumed it was a made up piece... but the sarcasm threw me off.. I'm just trying to learn...
