Luftwaffe Dagger Question

[Eric Cartman]

I have my eye on a Luftwaffe dagger in an antique store.
I was just cureous about a couple of things.
It has the sash and piece that goes on the belt, it has the handle that is a little brighter of a gold or yellow.
I have to double check the manufacturer, but I think it was made in Soligen, what bothers me is it has the word, (in english), "Original" above the manufacturers crest, is this a fake?
I generally collect Soviet stuff, but I like this dagger, it has a price tag of $525.00 usd.

No problem it sounds like a Eickhorn, there should be a representation of a squirrel as part of the trade mark.

Obviously would need pics to tell if it's worth $525 or not. If it's in good shape then I would say yes.

Cheers,
David.

The word "Original" is the same in both German and English. It is part of the Eickhorn trademark.
