Kriegsmarine 2nd model Hörster etched dagger with portepee

[Laffey]

Picked this up a bit before I had the experience I should have for such a purchase, as none of my resources really help me identify fakes or issues.

It seem in order to all you experts, or did I mess up?

Also, does anyone have any recommended resources for identifying fakes? German stuff is a nightmare for me as a newer collector with all the ubiquitous reproductions. Maybe I'm better suited for something a bit more obscure and less faked. Hah.

Also, hello. First real post and whatnot.

That's a nice one. The blade looks minty! Congratulations
