Fakes, both of them. Poor casting and detail, poor etchings, poor & incorrect makers marks, all made a dirty grey to suggest some patina. Probably made quite recently.
Thanks for your fast reply, i never study this daggers but i guessed it was fake becasue of the price they wanted
to good to be true is always a warning singnal.
If you plan to enter into the expensive world of Forestry blades I suggest you spend a few hours studying the threads started by Gerrit in the Forestry sub Forum. Study the photos of Solingen craftsmanship until you can see them with your eyes closed. Then, next time someone passes a fake in front of you, you'll recognize it in an instant. Good luck!
