Now what do we think of these "Fantasy" Olympiade/Nurnberg/Fighting HJ Knives?

[gerrit]

I was looking at the HJ section of Wittmann and these knives popped up:
Knives that has been spoken thru on many forums and the outcome is almost always:
Fakes, otherwise there would be thousands and thousands of these knives.
Ralleys where well visisted as the Olympiade was too, who wouldn't buy such a knife just for the memory of such a great event?
But NO! only on occasion they popup and sold as rarity's amongst the good ones...
As you all can see, they have very poor grip fits ( only the fighting knife has a decent fit)
Now tell me what you think of these knives sold by a man who has a lot of experience in German daggers...
Make you mind up...

My guess is Fourth Reich fantasy.

I've put pictures of similar knife with a different "etching."
This etching is simply not the style of TR.
Style of blade also.

Was the person who made the grip swastika's drunk at the time?

[Adrian Stevenson]

I agree. Not for me.

Cheers, Ade.
