Hi mpnox, Yes there are plenty of real daggers without maker marks, I am sure someone else can give you a more in depth answer but they are mostly called unnatributed daggers, I know that none of the TR red cross daggers are maker marked on the blade and alot of heer and luftwaffe daggers are unmarked, sometimes they are late war parts daggers and advanced collectors can break down each part and tell you who most likely produced it. But fakes come in all shapes and sizes and the devil is in the details, so as always post something here with nice clear close up photos before you buy, it will save you alot of money down the road. And also the maker mark will always be on the back of the blade except for some WKC models.

Hi alexbins, your dagger is a WKC type 4 and has the late unplated grey look to all the fittings. The scabbard I think is an Eickhorn which I believe is fine as WKC used their scabbards on their later army daggers. All fittings match so as far as I can tell everything is ok and looks original to me but see what others say.

I as well have an unmarked WWII German Army Dagger, which I just purchased. I did some research as well. From what I can tell mine is a real one. Due to the markings on the scabbard and the shape on the inside of the handle. Information I picked up on another web site. To everyone who replied to this post thank you for the helpful information.

Hello GRK...if you have a dagger to post please create a thread for it and not add to this thread.
It would gain greater attention and study within its own thread.
