Large lot of daggers, Navy / Luft, combat knife and more- value help needed!

[Discostu]

Hi all,

I have been offered these knives/daggers and would love some opinions, especially on values /originality as I am unsure. One was bought on lakesidetrader a long time ago so I am not worried about it, the strange looking knife is a "Kinfolks knife" and apparently rare. Any information appreciated!


Cheers and thanks!!

The Kinfolks V44 is an original US aircrew bail out survival knife . Not rare , but none the less a nice example by one of the more desirable makers of this knife with the correct sheath .

Thanks Craig! Any ideas on the German fighting knife?

I will disagree with craig that V44 is a very nice piece and is worth between 400-500 dollars alone !

[ww2relichunter]

Your german trench knife which is the first knife is easily with 100-150 dollars

[ww2relichunter]

Then finally kriegsmarine dagger is worth 1000s of dollars imo and luftwatte is a good 800 dollar piece !!

This is a 100% fake knife!

With respect, I disagree. Daggers such as those can be obtained for considerably less money.

Thanks for the info guys, so the WW1 fighting knife is a fake? Please let me know why or future reference


I agree with Stu, there is no way the Kriegsmarine is worth 1000's, maybe 750-900, the luftwaffe maybe 300-600? Personally I like the V44 since its something unusual around here

Agreed. This is the most commonly faked knife. You can tell from a distance by the scabbard alone. Scabbards for WWI fighting knives are generally very similar and this scabbard isn't close. Here's a link to the same type of knife being sold as a repro for $39.99. http://www.northridgeinc.com/store/index.cfm/c26/i76
