Luftwaffe combat knife. Original?

[alex gross]

Hi all!
What is your opinion?
Original or good fake?
Looks ok to me, but I would really like an answer on this.
Marked blade: L6

Sorry for the bad seller pictures.

Thank you!

Not sure about waffen amt 6 now that I look at it on screen. Fred may be correct along with Ralph as one to pass on. I looked quick on Iphone and was not able to look deeper until now.

Here is mine which is pretty much identical except for a lighter grip:

Rossi's example is a good one IMO, but personally I would proceed with caution for the thread starter. The scabbard spring clips are stretched out which could be be a sign of a fake, the grip I'm not sure of because of the dark low quality images. And from the light reflections the blade's polish seems off so is it just over-polishing or something else? And did I forget to mention that I don't really care that much for the grind marks on the cross guard? So I think that some really good quality images preferably in sunlight are needed before: 1) making a final judgement on the knife 2) well before any money changes hands (if it was my wallet that was going to be impacted). Best Regards, Fred

I agree with Fred, from these images alone, I do not like the one originally posted.

Ok, thank you guys!
The blade probable polished and I'm trying to believe no other problem with this knife.

Corrected my fault, sorry. Attached the photos for my upper comment.

If original, it has been messed with, at the very least.
The sanding/grinding marks on the blade near the guard would put me off, as well as the grinding marks on the guard as Fred stated.

Although a different maker, the quality should be close to the same.

In agreement with Ralph, I'm not liking the small details. Best Regards, Fred
