Hi Folks,
This Yugo dagger on ebay looks new to me, is it a repro or just a minty bargain? I do not like the look of the scabbard, the leather definately looks new. Any thoughts?

Here are some photos.
My first opinion is that it is brand new. The bad photography does not help.

Jim do you think it is a repro or just a good example, possibly unissued? The bad photos may be disguising something.

Originals always show wear to both the dagger and the blade. This dagger also appears to have a leather grip. I do not believe this to be original. We know about the parts daggers using the Eickhorn naval blades with reproduced scabbards. I suspect this is just the next generation of fakes.
