Wierd SS pocket knife; this is fake, isn't it?

[Harvey A]

From the same seller as the DRK Hewer is this knife. It looks bad to me, but again, I'm a novice. I'd appreciate your opinions. Thanks,

Harvey

Absolutely a fantasy item that has been known for years.

Thanks JR; it was hard for me to believe that any member of the SS would carry such an ugly knife.

That is probably the most famous (infamous?) repro of Third Reich anything.

I sold mine as a fantasy knife on the Estand in flash about 6 months ago for too cheap it seems now. Funny thing, they are desirable in their own right despite that. Seen them go pretty high on eBay.

... an old fake harvey, with the eagle on it looking like something an eight year old did with an engraving pen. truly a terrible fake!

These retailed for about 10 dollars from WW2 limited in the 1970's, but I have seen them sell for over $100 more than once. Very cheaply made But look at the cool markings
