Higher quality fakes have been surfacing for some time now, and have gotten better and better as mistakes were corrected. With the one here making it’s earlier public appearance on WAF 11-16-13. (And possibly earlier other places - who knows?) But on 12-30-13 it was another M 1936 dagger that had some guys buying off on the item as OK - and others who were critical of it as just another fake.

With my point being that I don’t think that it’s going to be getting better for collectors if some of the trends that we see now keep going forward in time. FP

I don't purport to have 25 years of experience though either, unlike you...
At least I know RZM daggers I guess; maybe someday I'll be able to get an early M33 or an M36

hey there, want to know how to spot a fake SS dagger
1. Buy reference books, and study.
2. Go to shows, handle known real examples, then study. (the more the better) Hands on inspection is the key...
3. Develop a network of trusted fellow collectors. Try to spot real vs fakes at the shows.
4. Only pull the trigger to buy when you have figured out step 1-3
Its that simple........
