Hello and welcome to the forum!
Since you introduced yourself in your second post, I have moved this thread to the correct section of the forum for you to get some answers to your question.
Other than the obvious damage, I don't see any issues with this dagger.
Wait for other opinions.
Ralph.

It looks like a period (Luftwaffe government purchased) example to me also. The acceptance stamp on the blade being the indicator. The break probably postwar because of its color as compared to the rest of the grip. Something that I think could be considered an admonition to collectors (and dealers) to be gentle with the cast phenolic resin grips because they trend to become more brittle with age. While the timing could probably be refined some, an initial estimate would be between 1937-1942. Best Regards, Fred

Hello Fred. Thank you for the information!
It's nice to know that it is believed to be real and narrowing down the period for the piece is a plus.
I did my own research before I bought it years ago but maybe I was wrong. I had to rely on photos of other daggers from the internet that looked like it.
I will be posting more stuff I have later. Not looking for info on the stuff just showing them off since they have been put away for so long.
I always appreciate it from anyone who has comment on what I post.
Thank you Fred for responding and everyone have a good day,
Stephen

SMF is Solingen Metallwarenfabrik ..aka Stocker & Co.
They made quality 2nd Model Luftwaffe daggers which I also echo Freds post above.
The Crossguard is Carl Eickhorn which SMF usually produced their own.
The detail is seen on the top guard side of the oakleaf relief.
SMF had their border lines closer to the oakleaves where as seen on an Eickhorn example above the border lines have a larger space between.
