trench knife

German trench knife. This is not my area and I know that these are heavily faked/copied, so what is the verdict for this one? Real or Fake?

Agreed. First one in quite good condition, second, okay.

First one is of the style i see faked the most.....not that this one is.....second I actually like the most....if i had a choice of either...i would go for door # 2. (dont forget to spay and neuter your pets)

Hi !

The first one´s a "Infanteriemesser 42".
Today there´re some pretty good replica´s on the market !

2nd one´s a "Kampfmesser der Luftwaffe".
IMO the most faked trench-knife of WWII !

At the pic´s the knive´s are looking good, but only if you hold them in your hand´s you can see, if they´re origin, (or not ... ).

Cheer´s,

R.


P.S.:

The grip-plates of the Luftwaffe fighting-knife, (IMO), are replaced
