It's fake. Not first and not last made in Czech.

I know the pictures don't show much but the blade, but from the little I see of the cross guard and the handle, would it be right to assume this whole thing is a Czech repro?

Hi more photos not yet. I make, here I found the same blade

Yes, to me it is enough to say the blade is a repro (not the blade itself, but ETCHINGS) . I really regret, but I will NOT point the bad details, since I don't want to help the fakers to improve their scumbag job.

HEY! it is even not the same blade, just check the peppering and rust. Suddenly 2 "original" dedication blades appeared??? C'mon, don't be kids...

Ok, now I'm lost, is the blade an original SS blade with a fake dedication added or the the blade a complete fake?

Just trying to learn

Original M33 dagger blade, original inscription ground off, new inscription applied. Very hard to detect, but it seems there is no perfect crime.
