SS chained dagger opinions

[krkavec]

Hello, your opinions please :-)
Thank you!

[DR DOLCH]

IMO I don't like the looks of the skulls they look so sad.I won't go into details about the others because it is a near perfect reproduction and with a few modifications.

[Rheingold]

The verdigris is turquoise,a sign of liquid-patination.

[BobI]

Very nice but I agree, there are some problems with this dagger.
Best Wishes,
Bob

I also will not disclose the details of what I see wrong with this one as it's a well done repro. Will state the 'ageing patina' is all fake also.

Wags,
I think we are in trouble, I think to help the fakers we better get Fred involved!

[Ron Weinand]

Would not be one for me.

Great looking dagger, and one that I like to use the term of "Textbook Czech"

[The Red Baron]

closer.....

[DR DOLCH]

Cheer up sad little totenkopf your day will come again.

[Frogprince]

It has a number of "issues" - but there is no denying that the fakers are getting better. Fred

This dagger is not a good copy. The chain is also not good.
The right eye should always sit a little deeper.

The Wotan's knot is just terrible. But, better a Czech's copy than a Spanish one.

PS: Concerning the verdigree, sometimes we can see this on shoulder boards pips. Would this cause for a concern, too, to collectors when discerning the pips originality? Thanks.

Thank you! This dagger is for sale in auction.. Starting price is cca 3500$

Hi,
One more thing about this dagger.The handle does not look like ebony.It has no
depth of colour.It has the dull lifeless appearance of stained wood.
