This is not a correct Böker blade. The 'ß' of 'heißt' isn't the correct type that Böker used. That's a big give away. Also makermark isn't correct.
Also the grip fittings aren't that perfectly well executed as what you would expect from Böker.
So, fake dagger with couple of original items at best.
Stay away of this dagger.

For comparison!

Is there any pimpling within the motto? Such a feature is typically characteristic of Boker blades.

Yes ! Pimpling are present . But - so differents font , maker mark ......

This motto pattern is not Böker and also too far down

Quality and detail of Boker Logo is lacking in subject dagger.
Comparison logo image is clear what a period original should look like.

IMO, the blade is a repro.

I agree fully, it appears to even have been Eastern European heat treated to appear to show false patina. Not a good piece IMO

Not all Bokers have pimpling in the motto.

Yep, you're right. The Böker on Ulric's site has the same fake logo.
I contacted him to inform him. Also the Bertram on his first page is bad.
That one is recently sold... :-(

The Bertram is a laser etched fake blade.
