The dagger has markings on the blade and on the scabbard. I will take more pictures.

Is that number 1580 on the throat and blade?
I had one of these years ago and from what I see In my opinion I think it's an era produced item. The clear lacquer finish has some lifting on the cross guard obverse I think is another good sign. The straps look to be original too.
I am certain others will provide their opinion shortly.

There is a pinned thread here that should be considered and compare closely upon both examples in the link and the Teno in this thread.
Watch out !

Hi Larry. I have looked into this topic. There is a difference in some details with both daggers shown there. It is more similar to the original, but there is a visible difference in the round tip. There is no mark from the cast on the left, and there is no trace of contact between the tip and the top of the handle. If there is some other photo of a real tip for comparison that would be great. All the daggers I have looked at have slight differences from the original shown in this thread.
Thanks Georgi.

Its a nice original, hangers are original too.
Its in worn condition, and the scabbard is missing its blackening, but other then that i like what i see.
If you want to be sure then ask the seller to put it on a a scale, i have looked at the weights of these daggers (of 9 original i have weights) and hangers for a very long time and they all are within a 12 gramm range, so more or less only 6 gramms from the average.
The fake ones don't
Dont publish the weights here but give me a PM i will not give that away to any forger who reads this post.
Cheers

Im not comfortable with the logo and the ges gesch eagle ...there is no depth to it and looks stamped on ..and im seeing other discrepancies in the detail of it.
Im think there is some original and some post war fittings.
These Tenos are extremely hard ...and is just a matter of my opinion of my thoughts.
Scary stuff
I would rather deal with an angry woman first before putting out any money on a dagger like this unless I knew for a fact it came from a Vets foot locker and not handed down the line for decades .
" Strict Provenance " are needed with these Teno leaders.
Regards Larry

As i said Larry its all in the weight bro
I have not seen a 100% identical logo on the 9 original ones i saw, small differences are not a problem
I do not see any red flag sofar.
Lets wait for the weight of dagger ( without portepee) and hanger.
The crossgrain on all originals is typical Eickhorn.
Would like to see addition pics on a 45 degree angle that shows the grain.
Other then that my advise would be a 30 days return back warranty without the need to specify why.
If its a legit dealer then this will be no problem.
