You probably wouldn't know much about it if you did.
It's the real deal, a German WW1 aerial flechette marked 'DRGM' (Deutsches Reich Gebrauchsmuster - German Reich Registered Design). There are several various different types in the museum at RAF Cosford, of which i'm sure this type is one.

Hi , well I like the look of it , it looks to have genuine age rather than "forced/fake" age. An unusual piece and very interesting ,What is the length/size of this piece? thanks for showing it. Leon.
They are generally around 5"-6" long, I remember that a French one in the museum is actually stamped 'Fabrique Allemande' which is ironic considering.....

The length is 5 inches, I have seen quite a few fakes even at my local antique fair but as Leon said it looks like its genuinely aged.
