SS Dagger - Real or Fake?

[dzyner]

I really need some opinions on this. There are things I like and things I don't, and since I don't own an SS dagger to compare to, I need the opinions of experts. What do you guys think about this? Hopefully these photos (provided by the seller) will suffice; they're more detailed than the photos I usually get

Thanks!

Looks good from were I'm sitting.... Condition though, is another story.

Hi Darren, this is a parts dagger, the lower crossguard is from an SA dagger and the grip fit is poor plus the condition is terrible. Save your money!

Cheers, Ade.

I would pass as well,the blade is horrible.From what I have seen there are no bargains on SS anything so I would save money and invest in a decent example.I have always said you get what you pay for.If Ade says pass You better pay heed.

Thanks guys. I had a feeling. I did some research while waiting for some replies and found that all examples with this RZM mark have the "SS" and RZM logos reversed. In other words, I'm curious if the blade is even authentic. Plus, on this blade, the markings read into the handle, whereas the other examples I found read away from the handle.

Regardless, I think I'm going to pass, even at the $750 the seller is asking. Since I've never purchased an SS dagger, much less a parts dagger, I assume $750 for a parts piece in this condition is still high?

good advice and save your money,,,,

$750 is far too much for this junk.

Cheers, Ade.
