IMO both are not genuine... Mixed direction arrows between SMF and Weyersberg... Stamped logo and RB.Nr on blades... Pimped with RB.Nr. 0/0878/0018 on spike of the Weyersberg... Picture of LuftAmt eagles on spike would confirm. Very good and natural patina makes one worried

I would also like to add that these are not specifically Fallschirmjaeger gravity knives. These were Luftwaffe issued to flight crews but anyone in the Luftwaffe including FJ could have been issued one...and before someone else chimes in other branches of the Wehrmacht have wound up with them as well.

Mats knows his stuff, I agree cleverly aged fakes.
