How can people tell this is fake.
Every time you ask this question, the experienced collectors will give you the same answer, "By studying original examples"

Re: Luftwaffe Double-Etched Dagger - Original ?
Real originals are very hard to find these days, i keep myself far from them.
There has been a post here about the technics they use now a days to make these " custom" blades.
Before buying these expensive daggers make lots of high quality pics and post them here.
If its a genuine one, the seller will have np to let you take pictures or even send you some good ones, he has nothing to fear.
If there is in any way a pressure method used, like " time.... or more buyers..etc..... then turn your back...your about to be ripped.
If the dagger is in the same price class as a normal one, then its for sure a post made edging.
Collectors know how hard to find they are....and they centainly know the prices!
Cheers,

Re: Luftwaffe Double-Etched Dagger - Original ?
Thanks everyone for the posts. I must admit a bit more detail with the posts as to why it was deemed a fake wouldn't have gone a rye. For Noobkilla 73 and others interested,I did find out some of the dagger faults - (1) the etching on the blade with the eagle standing on the swastika, the bottom third of the swastika is missing on a original dagger attention to detail was sharp this wouldn't be acceptable or allowed. (2) the makers stamp appears to be Clement Jung for a Luftwaffe dagger from this maker the name comes on one side on the other comes the shield symbol. On this dagger the name and shield come on the same side as was the Clement Jung practise on SA daggers and post war pieces, but not on war time Luftwaffe pieces. (3) Usually the eagle on the cross-guard with the open wings has sprigs under the wings this one has none. If anyone has spotted any-more faults, please post them we are all here to learn.
Regards

Re: Luftwaffe Double-Etched Dagger - Original ?
Ronnie - Sadly you may be right, although I do find the argument about informing the fakers a bit of a red herring, also what's the point of joining a particular forum if you aren't prepared to take part above the level of the one word post i.e. copy, fake, crap, etc, who can tell if you are serious collector with any depth of knowledge or a member who just likes racking up his number count without knowing or contributing much ?
