Buyers Beware!

[Rich Moran]

Herr Wittman is offering a stinker! This dagger is original but the etch is a post war Spanish produced item. Many years ago I had a discussion with Tom Johnson on this subject as I bought one of these and his advice then was 'post war Spanish produced etch'. What's sad is they ruined an original dagger doing the etch.

Note the etched panel close to the cross guard, one side does not have the lines meet that run the edge of the panel while the other side does. The joined lines are circled in red...as in a red herring...beware!

The item number from his listing is seen the the jpeg images saved as name.

Looking at mine the etch seems to go under the swaz much further and etch looks like 1 signal line. Just doesn't look quite the same as the one you posted.
Here is the link to my unmarked voos etch.

Very interesting the difference.

Luftwaffe 2nd model no maker Voos etch

Closer photos but hard to take as the etch is under the swaz.
