Hello,
I would appreciate your expertise.
The attached photos probably show an original SA Feldherrnhalle dagger.
Is there any way to tell from the photos...real or fake?
Many thanks in advance.

I'm not an Expert on Daggers at all, but IMO Dagger itself looks good. But the inscription doesn't look good! The font does not correspond to the usual Gothic font used in the TR. In addition, the dealer “Spree Militaria” is generally not to be trusted. He has been selling very obvious fakes for years. I wouldn't spend a single cent there, for anything!
To me it looks to be a parts dagger. Wachstandarte W Gruppe mark is not know to Konejung and the fittings between grip and crossguards are not good.
Inscription is added post war

What a shame ....it is not often that any Herm Konejungs come along ...and this one was surely ruined ..mainly by a bogus dedication
You can see where the dedication is perfect over the blade runner marks and very uncorrupted.
What a waste
The "W" gruppe mark sometimes blows in with the wind and we see these occasionally on some dagger crossguards.
The SA Gruppe mark list in some cases is still growing with new finds ...and I can not say if the "W" belongs or not.
Yet the dedication shoots this dagger down. The application itself does not appear to be acid etched and has more of a pasted applied look to it.
Leave the dagger where it sits.

It's nice that my assessment was largely confirmed. As I said before, I would stay away from this dealer at all. He's a total scumbag shyster.

well known for its fakes, that guy is a real dirtbag.

You'd think that for a top level dagger, the dealer could find an early clip for the short hanger.
