    Looks to be a pretty nice original Diplomatic dagger with portapee by Alcoso,a shame its not the bayonet they are as rare as hens teeth, the grip of yours looks to be celluloid which has'nt been affected by too much yellowing

    There are a couple of issues,namely the detailing on the makers mark and the feathering on the eagle, but wait for some more comments

    Hi Tom your post Real or fake and no description!.....so my reply FAKE!! Please identify any concerns you may think,,, is on this dagger,, that would move you to ask a doubting question!

    just take a look at wittmann he has a few for sale.
    then compare them, use only the gripplates...that will do..

    these ones are so tricky, but Paul from LST once gave an advise: watch the gripplates fit very carefully.
    The real ones have a perfect fit, look where they it all comes together: backplate, grip, and crossguard ring.
    I dont like the fit of the plates, if that is not one 100%, you better move ahead to the next offer...

    Cheers,
    Ger
