Höller Army crossguard fake?

[Anders L]

Did tell a seller that this crossguard was fake, with no possitive reaction..
I'm i right or wrong? Höller for me is high standard, this looks bad...
Or the dagger is a mix with parts... Only photo I have, sorry.

Crossguard looks original - Horster 2. type.

not fake, just late war metal

Guard seems to favor an Alcoso Type-3 to me although the picture is poor. The swastika is deformed and the detail to the wreath is very poor. I can say good or bad not a guard you would ever see on a Holler and by the looks of that maker mark I am not sure it’s a period mark without a better picture of it. Not a dagger I would remotely entertain even with this one crappy picture.

Ditto on Tom's assessment, worn out Alcoso 3rd.. has no place with that blade. Kevin.
