Are you sure of what he says? This dagger is Helmut Weitz bought several years ago and its price was higher than 1500 € ... what to say is based is a copy?

[David Guist]

Hi I do believe it is a post war dagger.Buy here is why it is my understanding that the makers mark on these daggers should be stamped not etched. It is nice when you say an item may be bad to at least give a reason why.Best regards

[collado250]

Many, thank you very much. So yeah. After talking to the person who sold it to me, told me he had been mistaken and that no Weitze had purchased, but another dealer ... I missed that Helmut sell such a thing knowing it to copy. .. My pardons to the reputation of Helmut Weitze.
Thanks again for opening my eyes. The questioner is a fool once, does not it is a lifetime.

Yes it is a nice repro, and as everyone has said, Eickhorn logo is wrongly etched on blade.

Best Regards,

I started looking for a bit and. Surprise! As I said, I am not expert about daggers, but I think if Wittman.
This is exactly the brand that bears my dagger. I can now say that the Marine daggers were never used, but I find it very strange that a manufacturer change the type of mark sheet as the army or navy.
This photograph is a dagger by Carl Eickhorn, conducted from 1935 to 1941.
The offers for sale in http://www.wwiidaggers.com/AOD.htm by $ 1,195.
Can anyone clarify this?
I think I rushed ...

In army daggers its ok Eickhorn mark, in kriegsmarine it should be like this:

Yours is there in comparison:

The postwar etching of maker marks that had been stamped is usually attributed to the fact that the die set to make the stamp on originals was not available. And is or was too costly to reproduce. And with the Army daggers: the trademark would have to have been significantly reduced in size to be stamped on a flat surface. Whereas with curved/angled blades, there is no problem with etching when a larger trademark/logo is desired. FP

Collado,

It's a bummer when these things happen, though they do sometimes.

Get your money back from the guy who sold it to you. It's a nice looking reproduction Eickhorn KM dagger, but a reproduction none the less.

If you bought if from a dealer, he should be obligated to refund your money. If you bought it on a reputable forum, it should have a guarantee of authenticity, and the seller should be obligated to refund you your money if it was sold as a period piece.
