Several months later the identical photo was offered again on German ebay ... and again as an original photo It was a different seller, but it was somehow strange. I bought the second photo as well and ... both sellers accidentally lived in a very same small village
After doing some research in a German military forum, it was obvious that both photos are copies of two well-known fakers. The photo paper was bad, the stamp "Agfa Brovira" was bad, etc.
After some email conversation I finally got my money backAttached Files

That image has been around for decades. I have a publication printed in the 70s with the exact same photo.
I have quite a few pictures in my collection of daggers in wear. I'll see if I can't get around to scanning and posting some later today.

Kriegsmarine dagger
This is my only photo of a navy officer with his dagger.
I thought I would post this photo up too as it shows a really good detail of the portepee tied around the hilt etc. This is in postcard format.
Also, I think this is a really good idea for a thread. Thanks for starting this up.
regards John
