SS Honor Dagger?

[Aug]

Are there reproductions of the SS dagger? Is this one authentic? How much is it worth?

Thank you

Repro...sorry-it's basically worthless. Just a curio. There are far more reproduction SS daggers today than there are real ones-hence the real one's high value.

I thought it might be bogus. Too good to be true. Thank you for confirming.

HI Aug...welcome to the forum...as stated above by Wagriff...this one is worth about $35.

There are too many details to list concerning this type of SS Honor dagger which these types have the Oak leave adorned on the fittings.
The One easily identifiable detail that points to this rare type and hard to find dagger is the RZM number on the blade..which SS Honor daggers never had and a 2nd trait is the slash cut wings seen on the grip eagle.

I would encourage a read through the SS dagger section and compare your example to the standard details that are seen on common SS daggers.

A dagger like this if it were real would be worth around $125,000 US. I think you could buy the whole forum membership renewals for the next 10 years ...with that kind of money.

Read through the threads please.

Regards Larry

I even won't spend 35$ on the thing Larry. :-)

As has been said, a well known fake.

Here is a text book SS Honor Dagger. Original examples with the oakleaf scabbard fittings are known.
