    Help with Judging SS Dagger...

    Hello-

    thanks for your help.

    this is the only pic of this dagger I can get. It is with other edged weapons and wanted your thoughts toon whether this is authentic ww2 or not...

    Thanks again

    The SS dagger is not original. The SS grip insignia is wrong and it has a leather buffer pad. That's two of many problems it has

      It's so bad its laughable. If you want to start collecting these, buy some books! I don't say that in a mean way, but really, SS daggers start upwards of 3000.00 for a decent one. That's an awful lot of your money to throw down only because you trust other people's opinions. If someone here slips and calls a parts piece, or worse, OK...well guess who gets the shaft? Like in most antique-collecting areas these days, buyer beware.

      Best,
      Josh

        b_vanfossen if you even need to ask that question about that photo then you are NOT ready to buy one. Buy a reference book first... preferably Wittmann's.

            I thought the lower crossguard looked off, and I knw the thing around the lower cross guard and where the blade meet where not right.

            I just wanted conformation on it.

            thanks

              I like the black handled Luft dagger; the top piece. Must be a some sort of Luft funeral dagger . Wait a minute, perhaps its for the Waffen SS division of pilots. The Flieger-Schutzstaffel der Luftwaffe

              Hey, at least the 98 with the frog looks legit.

                Wittmann's reference is a MUST. Search many many posts as well. You'll be super glad you did.

                  Indeed, IMHO the two KS98 are OK.

                  What are the maker´s ?

                  The shorter one show´s screw´s, (Aesculap or Pack ?)

                    No need to be hard with the guy. He is a new member, lets just not discourage people. We all had to start somewhere.
