Cretan
Total fantasy piece - bears no relation to anything produced in the TR era.
Value ... very little.

Re: Help Needed to identify 3rd Reich Dagger
Thanks guys. What's interesting about this dagger is that its extremely well made and sturdy for a fake. I mean you copy something to make some money. If its gonna cost you more than the original whats the point in doing so? Thanks again for all your help and time here.

Agreed - Lots of fakes like this around with attached insignia usually made of brass.
I have never seen one of these daggers documented in any reference book
relating to TR edged weapons, dating back 30 years or more............!

The poor quality of the swastika emblem on the handle speaks volumes

It will rate high on the famous Wall of Fakes........
Tip: spend a few bucks on a third Reich dagger book...could save you some precious money......

Re: Help Needed to identify 3rd Reich Dagger
The scabbard looks like it came from a Communist Bulgarian army dagger where the Bulgarian coat of arms on the upper scabbard fitting was sanded off, polished and replaced with the early political eagle. The handle could come from any metal working shop with a lathe.
