Fake ss dagger database
Hi SS dagger collectors. For long time now I'm playing with the idea to make a thread regarding Fake SS daggers.
Goal of this topic is, to post and discuss all fake SS daggers that you come across on the net and of those that you know are for sale.
Meaning is that collectors and future collectors of SS daggers have a quick reference to these daggers as they pop up more and more...
So, if you find them, post them and give some explanation. I hope it will become an interesting and informative thread.
Thanks,
Kris

Krisse,
Great information, thanks for sharing. I have a question regarding what you mentioned about the Solingen Blades..
When you mentioned that a bunch of leftover Solingen blades were bought up, were the blades left over from WW2?, and were they already engraved, or were these engraved and RZM markings added after?
Hope this is not a stupid question, just was curious since I hear a lot about parts daggers being constructed out of excess original parts, such as blades after the war, and of course the repro daggers that are being made today...
Great information by the way..

Off course this is not a stupid question. There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers... :-)
My answer is; I actually don't know if they were engraved or not. Maybe some were and some were not.
I know this from fellow collectors who have told me this.
Others here probably can tell more...

Period dies have been used postwar all the easy into the 1970s ...that were salvaged or those producers outside Solingen who may have been sub contracted to produce blades for the larger companies .
Scary stuff for sure and is why the collector must be extra diligent in his research ..discerning the differences in details.
Its why I shy away from most RZM type daggers as these are heavily faked. A keen eye will see the differences as Krisse has posted above.
