What do you think of this SS dagger?

Does this look legit to you, or bogus? I just noticed two different maker's marks! that's not good.

1163 is indeed the maker F. A. Helbig. A transitional piece, where both the makers trademark, and RZM designated code number was displayed.

The piece shown, i believe is an original dagger (from what is shown) but with an added inscription post war.
Shame, as it actually detracts its value

Here are the grips. I am not sure WHICH dagger it goes with!

There obviously are two different daggers here. One with (apparant) bogus inscription, and one nice one.

It is the same dagger isn't it?

Thanks for the tip. I guess this guy Pawel Nowack is a swindler. SS collector posted a medal he is offering, too - the one with the bogus SS inscription! Apparantly this guy is sending his BS to EVERYBODY.

Just be careful out there

The maker is to far from the hilt

**John Brandon** · 05-02-2009, 08:29 PM

Disagree. I think this is a real, and quite rare double maker SS Dagger, its just who its coming from, because believe me, you won't receive what you see
