Hi amiklic1
It is better to resign of this piece. The scabbard and pommel is the WKC production, grip is in my opinion a copy and the TM Eickhornhas little detail and is upside down.
In the best case parts dagger.
Regards Jakub

I woudn't even say it's parts dagger.
I do not like it at all. Handle, wire wrap...
Scabbard rings which are holding loose hangers rings are strange, also.

This seller "Porschezelt", along with 5 or so other Eban profiles he uses, is well known for selling modern production Naval daggers as period items. I suspect most that buy them are unwitting collectors. There was at least 1 thread on WAF detailing his profiles & previous sales of highly questionable items. He also sells fake/modern knots & hangers.

Right on Billy, not to mention that he posted on here trying to defend that junk.

Thanks Ed.

For those not familiar with this type of Eban games, here is a partial list of the seller names of those associated with the modern production daggers, hangers & knots. I'm sure there are more & will post them once they are identified.

Yes, I've been discussing this one few nights ago with a friend.
We used Wittman's book as a reference, and there are many issues with this one.
