OK,Dave. I often met RZM daggers with others distances. Here the original G.Spitzer example. What do you think about it?

You need better focus and a lot more pictures Dave, unfortunately I have`t Spitzer dagger now. But I paid attention at this moment earlier. Here one more on the Gottliebs site. If considering the dagger in scale, obviously distance between motto and crossguard more than 2.5 cm at Spitzer daggers.The top of the scabbard is interesting too. http://www.craiggottlieb.com/engine/inspect.asp?Item=4619&Filter=German+Militaria

Thanks Dave, this really is informative stuff! I'm going to post a few pics later of one I'm having a few doubts on . . . the main red flag is the Motto, it's an early Eickhorn . . . were the mottos ever a little further down the blade? Thanks Vinney

I could not decide without having the dagger to examine in person.

Dave, You want to say that dagger submitted to link may be original? This dagger has the exactly same blade as you have shown. You think that some original Eichorn daggers may have the same wrong position logo and motto? Thanks.

Thank you all.
I still have that dagger so questions are welcome.
I am looking for more fake SS / SA daggers to do a similar analysiss. If you have one, I'd like to borrow it and will NOT reveal your name.
Dave

New here. Great forum. I have also been trying to buy good fakes but most are sold as real. Others that have known fakes keep the because they don't want to get burned again or have them sold as real. There are so many out there though.
