I often get disconected when trying to load pictures, very annoying when you just had put your time in a ellaborated page to go with the pic's.
I even copied my text to paste it if anything would happen but even that dissapeared.
So next messages could be split up.
Sorry for the mess.

Indeed but the one showed earlyer appeared to be a copy!
BUT!!!
I just got the second one in from the same seller, it was orded before the first one was proven to be a fake!
I would have expect the second one being a fake as well, especialy as it costed 60 euro.
When comparing both and knowing what I know now it is obvious that the bronzing of the Sonnenrad is hilarious on the first one.
And then I saw that there is a flipped print of a RZM mark in the resine/ glue of the pommel where a pastille shapped Sonnerad had been fixed, but it came of and got lost over the years. It seem that other marks are there as well but I do not recognize them.
Also the type of resine / glue is not a moderne one.I do know little about militaria but I do know about glues and resine.
And at last, maybe not least, the edge of the blade are so much sharpper then the first one, not razor sharp, but sharp.
I am going to post thise message and load up the pic's in a following message.
Thanks in advance for your reply's.

First and third pictures show the RZM flipped mark
Second picture try to show the difference of sharpeness of the blade...
Two last pictures are made to show the difference (S!).
So would the second dagger that i recieved stand a chance of being original?

Stuka F, Second dagger looks a bit better so far, looks to be a earlier mid period made piece, could we see the other side of the pommel and hilt? Also is there a maker mark(if there is show us a close up pic)? Show us the whole blade front and back also if you will. Lets see what we have here. Kevin.

Thanks for your time Kevin.
There is no makers mark and I couldn't use the forum picture up-loader as it disconects me every time I try to do so.
