heer dagger original?

[wolffighter]

Hi,

A friend of mine bought this dagger, i had my doubts when I saw it, but after a little research we find out that it could be a late war example.

The dagger has no maker mark. The fittings on the scabbard are not in the right place and have some damage as you can see in the pictures. The hanger is a 100% reproduction.

maybe you guys could help us to find out of this dagger is original or not?

thanks in advance,
Maarten

Unfortunately from these photos, i can only speculate.
I think that these is is a generic Heer dagger type A.
Dagger hanger looks like a shortened Deluxe type, although the T junction is not
Deluxe.

Scabbard and dagger grip are replaced.

Looks good to me.

Looks like a typical generic type to me.

Strangely, scabbard does not look like generic type A.
