Dagger Heer: reproduction or original??

[oagfs]

Hi All,


One more time i bring a dagger to verify if the piece is original or a reproduction.
I appreciate the cooperation of everyone.

Best regards,

































Making circles or design:

I wouldn't buy it! But wait for the experts.To me there is a lack of details, the solingen mark who is out of center, and a bad cast in general.

I would pass on this one if offered to me.

Cheers, Ade.

The maker mark that is off center does raise an alarm....other than that though - it appears ok to me.

Shouldnt the eagle be facing the right side not the left?
But im not sure

[Adrian Stevenson]

The eagle does face the correct way.

Cheers, Ade.

I don´t like it. This is just a gut reaction, I´m no expert in the field of daggers.

Best regards Jan

No it's facing the right way, but the dagger itself is incorrect. For a start I can't see any billet clamp marks, coupled with the poor laser etched maker mark numerous other details but It's a fake, sorry

oagf's look's like a copy to me sorry, the scabbard has a fan like appearence on the scabbard pebbling, the castings have poor defenition's also like John say's there are no billet clamp mark's visible so i would personally let this one go,
cheer's Ronnie

Thats what caught my eye's.
The casting flaws on the pommel is the other thing.
