    Default RAD Dagger ... Fake isnt it?

    Hi guys,

    I have started collecting 6 months ago. Usually I have someone who can get me real stuff from auctions. Anyway I started to look up for a few things by my own and now I got an offer for this one. I did already some research and I think this one is not a real one. Looking for some experts to tell me if I should stay away from this one or just get it

    Thanks a lot.

    Welcome to the forum Piccolo2.

    Sadly, it is bad. Always wait for a consensus however

    Here is a beautiful example to compare to. Look at the high quality craftsmanship, etching and materials.

    As stated..
    Just look at the lack of detail on the scabbard alone..

    No need to close the thread.

    Look closely at everything on "your" dagger vs. the one I posted. It will all be clear (blade, fuller, screws, etching, scabbard fittings, etc. etc.)

    Edit: And Neds as well....got to keep him happy As a new collector there is more information on this forum that you can imaging. Just use some key words (Boker, RAD, Dagger, etc) and use the search function on the top right of the page.

    As a new member, one thing we don't generally discuss is prices. Not directed at your question but it is something we stay away from for a number of reasons. Best bet is to search some of the major dealers and then discount the price by 25% +/- to determine a collector to collector price.

    Here is a starter...

    The Collector's Guild

    Other dealers to look at are Whitmann and Lakeside Traders

    All I can say is that what I thought was a bit of rash indulgence has turned into an absolute bargain in the intervening time since I acquired it. A pretty average hewer with non of the accoutrements goes for around what I paid for this, so I'm well pleased. Here's a well known dealer with a large stock of RAD hewers, these prices are top dollar so allow for up to 30-40% less for a collector to collector deal I guess?
