Miniature SS dagger

[ado]

This is Mini SS dagger marked on blade SS 807/36 RZM, my question was is this original or fake dagger?

Thank you

Hi Ado, these are fantasy items from the 1960's. Made in the USA. Note the Heer style eagle on the grip. What does not help is these have got published in books as "real" since then which confuses things. I would never buy one of these.

Cheers, Ade.

HM, interesting, because here in USA dealer recently sold one for $450 claiming it was authentic and that the dagger as this usually came without scrabbar.
(that dagger had almost same type of eagle on the handle and i even believe that it was the same RZM code)

Thank you, Ade

Hi Ado, these never came with scabbards. They are always marked with this code too. I think someone wasted $450....

Cheers, Ade.
