Luftwaffe dagger: is this a repro?

I have been offered this dagger, but there are questions as to its authenticity. The tang says 'Berlin' and I was told it could be a post war Spanish copy. Your thoughts please. I will get better pics of the blade.

Not too sure because of the pics but im not liking it , got any clearer and close ups of the blade and eagle, it all looks a bit dull

If the maker is HÖLLER Berlin, it´s an fake.

Pass on it.

The blade marking and finish are big red flags. Any "Berlin" marked dagger needs to be looked at. But that is not to say all are bad. Some styles, such as NAPOLA, can be legitimate.

Cheers, Ade.

Fake through and through.

Though it does have some collectibility as a Spanish repro from the 70's. If you can get it for very little money then you should buy it.
