I finally found a good double etched Heeres Offiziersdolch

I had been looking for about four years for one of these and lo and behold 4 of them walk into my shop! Here is the first.

Hi Gary, seems etched daggers are like buses where you live!

Again, some info on the Regt:

Artillerie-Regimenter - Lexikon der Wehrmacht

Cheers, Ade.

I am sorry to say however that these are all apparently fakes. Ron Weinand ho's opinion I value highly is of the opinion that they are fakes.

Hi Gary


That's why I never trust etched blade like that myself. They are yust to good to be true and you can never be sure about them. There was someone in Belgium that putted fake etchings (mostly SS related ones) on K98 bayos in the 80's. I saw them selling numerous times on fairs and auctions, but they are fake nonetheless. I should of taken a better look at your daggers this morning, but I guess I was to excitted yust like you.


I feel your pain...

Cheers, Ade.
