2 SS daggers (1 chained) & 1 etched bayo

[Military Trader]

I stopped at an antique mall and the guy had these daggers -- Can you determine originality from these few photos (all I have)? And by the way are these prices about right?

The chained SS was $3900 and the regular SS $2000 I forget what was on the etched bayonet

The etched bayonet -- is this ok? I believe he wanted around $500 for it.

1. Chained SS looks OK.
2. 33-SS-Looks Bad. - I don't like the blade or Maker logo. Fake button.
3. Looks like a Holler etch. Authenticity probably good.

Prices are: 1. OK
2. N/A
3. a bit high if single etch - not by much

I agree completely with Wags... nice, fairly priced M36, but the M33 is a repro, probably a Reddick, wrong blade motto (Pack style) and maker mark, soft-wood grip dyed black, eagle and runes have been messed with, some of the fakes have a larger runes button, looks like it was changed for the correct size.
