A few more photos would determine authenticity.
Cant say yes what other details we can not see such as a producer logo and any markings on the off end of the crossguard.
Please.

I went to their website. I know there has been a subtly close reproduction that is pretty good I have seen in my travels. Would like to see more of this one in hand for me. The thing to look for on these is the guards size, screw types along with throat marking stamping and K on the guard as here on mine.

Ross now a days even the K casting is on the guard and DLV markings on the throat.
What they all lack are the original super flat scabbard screws, and the pommel is a bit to much strechedgiven it a bit different shape.
Next to an original its visible.
The RLB repro's are pretty good too, for some reason a lot bear a "1936" marking on the tang, makes it a bit easier
This one is a fake, domehead screws is a dead give away.

Yup! They are getting better at replicas all the time. Pity and shame. Screws agreed and also the guard on replica next to an original is suspect as well and Swaz from what I have observed.

Legacy has been offering daggers and uniforms lately. Most of them are very suspect. You have to wonder why they would do this. They have a really nice ppk, luger, etc thing going on. Doesn’t make sense.
Welcome to the world of dealers....
Of course it makes sense, by also selling good stuff they take away the suspicion of the bad stuff..
