Heer dagger for opinions please

[fdodge]

Kevin, thank you for your help on this and also the Luftwaffe daggers. I can't take the dagger apart as I don't know how and I don't want to risk anything. I would be shocked if any part of this was a new reproduction as I know where these came from and they were there for a long time. I will look at the scabbard when I get back home later.

If you took this dagger apart, it would not be it's first time.
Whether the grip is a repro or an original, this is a parts dagger (to some degree) as stated. We have seen shrinkage of grips but this is beyond that.
The scabbard has definitely been dicked with and in this case is a testament to the whole rig.

I agree with Fdodge that this scabbard is not correct even for a generic Heer. This is a single side screw WKC made scabbard, they may have sold to other makers but used the single side screw exclusively on their own product. If you do care to inspect further the pommel will screw off (lefty loosey) but dont force it if it is stuck in place. Kevin.
