Weimar Naval dagger marked ”Germany”

[michael giertz]

Hi! Gents.
I have this dagger that looks genuine to me ?
But has Germany engraved in the blade.
I have seen tvings marked Made in germany, But not on a dagger ?
If you Would make a copy,then you wouldet marked it Germany ?
Any thoughts about it ?

Best regards:

Michael.

Being stamped with the country of origin would allow the dagger to be
imported and sold in the US.

Ww2 British commando knives are a great example of this. Many that are
found in the US are stamped "England". These are wartime surplus knives
that were then stamped so that they would comply with US
"country of origin" import laws .

I am not familiar enough with your style of dagger to be a good judge of
it's authenticity. The details of the cross guard and pommel cap seem
kind of week to me but maybe that is correct for this dagger. Could it be
that this is a copy made to be sold as a souvenir---I don't know.

I am attaching a picture of a British dagger that shows the correct British
war time acceptance stamp and also the postwar Import stamp.
