FB stamped guards.
This is my first post. Right now I'm reading more than I post. However just curious if these guards with the FB were used a lot in replica daggers. I purchased a very relic SS dagger that was so old and incorrect I thought I'd take a chance. The only other dagger I've purchased was from Paul at Lakesidetrader. I would appreciate any thoughts on these guards. Also was it common to see traces of copper under the eagle plating and on the guard edges?
Hi Garth...none that I have seen with injection mold points or have been documented as to be used in the late period.
Who is the producer on your blade..and we can proceed? More pics of the whole dagger would be appreciated.
Regards Larry

FB crossguards
Thanks Larry, this dagger has no value to it other than a possible restoration project. That I found AS FB stamps on the guards is a hopeful sign. The blade that came with it was a relic SA blade that struck me as odd that it was there at all. If it is late war that would explain the over all poor quality.
Don't think anyone was trying to fool anyone with this dagger. It's just an old relic that could use a nice blade.

Hi Garth,
these F.B. marked guards are also used on late SS daggers. I own a Henckels 15/39 SS with this kind of guards! According to my knowledge,only the 15/39 Henckels were equipped with this kind of guards,but with a tapared tang nut. The hole is bigger,as on other marked guards.
I'll post two pics for reference!
Regards,
Gerd
Here are the pics. Guess you will see it.

I gave the relicy old SS dagger to friend who just wanted something from the war. I'm turning my site's towards a decent dagger now that I have a little more knowledge about these things. What a minefield.
