I just picked up this dagger and noticed a Luft mark above the maker name. Does anybody know why an army dagger would have a luft mark? thanks

SMF HEER Dagger Luft Marked?

hi. the blade has been taken from a luft dagger: the waffenamt was only for luft dags, being these marks applied at the presence of a luftwaffe inspector, so, a luft inspector couldn't .. inspect a heer dolch (and never seen heer dolche with a waffenamt). also, consider this dagger has generic fittings and not smf manifacture.

Billy:
It is pretty easy to swap these two, almost as easy as simply swapping blades around... one of the disadvantages to the manufacturers making the Luft2 and the Heer blades the same.
Sometimes the fit gives it away.
I wouldn't necessarily turn away from a dagger with mismatched fittings.. some manufacturers would sell their fittings to everyone (WKC for example). But, this is definitely a 'parts dagger', actually more like a Frankenstein parts dagger.
