Boot dagger real or repro???

[David H]

I have seen this boot dagger, not really my cup of tea. I guess I thought it was not a real one, but I don't know.
Any help appreciated.

IMO, not an original TR fighting knife.

I agree, not an original Luftwaffe fighting knife I'm afraid.

A very wise decision IMO. Save your money for a knife that you don't have to worry about. FP

Hi David, IMO nothing to worry about here. What you have is a very nice WWI Austo- Hungarian fighting knife. Perhaps it was passed down or carried over into the next war.

You're thinking of an Austro-Hungarian Model 1917 fighting knife, that's a different knife entirely. This one is trying to be a WWII era Luftwaffe fighting knife, and it's not very close.

Yes, thank you. I'm very aware of that, but it's still a fine fighting knife , never said it was Luft.

You're good, it is a fine example of a WWII German fighting knife,,,,,

It may be "fine", but it isn't old.

It is not an original TR era Luftwaffe boot knife, which is what it is trying to be.
