Real or repro Daggers? A Luft & another it appears.

[Michael]

New to the forum here. A buddy was cleaning out his den and brought me a pile of his "junk". The weight and fit of these kinda caught my attention. Wondering if they are real and what the second one is if they are. I'm afraid I may have to give them back. Both are marked paul weyersberg & co berlin. But I noticed that co. was listed as Solingen elsewhere on the forum. are these perhaps just decent reproductions?

They are indeed reproductions Sir.
Sorry.

[Michael]

No need to be sorry. I can actually keep them now. And we spent half the afternoon learning about ww2 blades, so it was educational. Love your site btw

[Lakesidetrader]

No sweat, happy to help. Great community of knowledgeable folks here I've found very helpful. We are all here to learn.

OK another question then.... is the non-luftwaffe2 a copy of another dagger or is it a fantasy piece? I can't seem to find one like it anywhere and I'm finding all of this entirely too interesting. I found a luft2 for sale today that had obviously been pieced together and I'm trying to gain more info before I purchase the real thing.

It is a copy of the Hermann Goering Industrial Dagger, the originals would have been gilded in gold, and if real would be many thousands of dollars

[Michael]

Thanks very much. At least now maybe I can see what a real one looks like.

I doubt you will ever see a real one in the flesh, i believe this is ultra rare, not sure how many were made but not many poss only a few
