    Please do not take this personal, im trying to help, but here are my 2 cents:

    As far as i can see its a cheap repro/ copy.
    The dagger has a leather buffer, the grip is way off line, it just doesnt fit at all.
    by no means this would ever pass the strict german buiders code.
    I cant understand that hardly anyone questions this poor fake.

    let it rust in your garden and overnight it becomes genuine?
    then i would suggest to start with better material then this one.
    It has al the signs of a cheap fake, with at its best a few orig.parts, although i cant point them out.

    I wouldn't keep it even when it was for free...

    Cheers,
    Ger

    The eagle on the handle looks really bad, like most fake eagle's.

    While I’m in agreement that it’s time to move on - the example here is a good illustration of why the supposed provenance “stories”: the barn, the attic, behind a wall in Berlin, “from the hands of the living vet” (etc. etc.) all have to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

    Because what we can see is: a leather washer, a pot metal eagle with a bright surface finish - along with a nickel plated copper(?) cross guard, an undersized blade with no discernible markings, and an unknown type of wood grip with an unusual way of shrinking. Nothing personal - but in other words it looks like postwar junk to me. FP

    This dagger is fake. As pointed out there is padding where the blade/cross gaurd meet and the eagle has the squared off wings. Probably dug up in a spanish garden.
