The Arrarat water mark belongs to an Auction house,,which I have seen many fakes come out of. These daggers IMO are parts daggers some repro and some not. The Forestry dagger stands a good chance,, but not too sure. The RLB ..which is supposed to be the first model...has a crossguard seen on eastern European fakes is. ,, the Eickhorn logo on the Teno is more starved than normal. Although this variant is considered the "rat logo".,,it is far less than a rat...its pretty much out of breath and dead! The font size in "solingen" is shorter than normal and should span the length from the "c" in Eickhorn to the letter "n".
IMO these are not good examples. The watermarked name tells alot more than the photos IMO. Not sure of the Army dagger as member Degens said but more photos would be appreciated. Regards Larry
Below are 2 photos of the Eickhorn logo..The top photo yours and the bottom a gdc file photo,,, the difference can be seen in the etch and font style. The Ges. Getch shows a stark contrast in detail compared to each other. the Teno you posted from that website lacks any detail.
