Greetings Delboy,

It is a post-WW1 (modern) reproduction. If you go here https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/imper...nife-370751-3/ and review post #28 you can view exactly why yourself.

Thanks for posting the images Ron. Once again great advice from the members, cheers. You saved me a lot of money, guess I will keep looking as I just need one for my imperial collection, when I find one I will post again for the invaluable advice you offer.

Many Thanks Delboy

No problemo Delboy, always happy to assist a fellow collector of all things pointy. Once you know the correct direction the grip's cut-in slants should face, it becomes quite easy to dismiss the many fakes passed off as originals online.

Greetings Delboy,

Scabbard's leather looks replaced, but the ERN knife itself is legit/good to go. These are a pretty common variant to find in very good condition. I don't do pricing before you ask;-)
