Hello All,

Please have a look and give me your thoughts.

Is this dagger original or a fake?

Thank you!

Great looking postschutz dagger in outstanding condition-

Normally I agree with Horst but this time I would respectfully disagree.

I dunno, to me the dagger looks like a reproduction. Just a number of things, the crudeness of the crossguard being one that jumps out at me. Maker's mark looks off & a couple of other things that are minute which I won't mention to assist the fakers. Maybe a parts piece but there are things that give me pause to feel the whole shebang is bad.

The chain is from a Luftwaffe dagger.
Thanks,

I concur here with Billy's observation.

This think is being offered in a few places...
There are some very good repro Postals being offered as of late.
One to watch for.

DRP and Number on Crossguard and makers mark in blade give it away as a fake IMO.
