wooo first post! (i hope )

i think for me, the only thing of concern is the rzm etching... it looks like 2 fat circles, instead of 1 thin and a fat one.

anyone else notice this?

here some pics for the interested parties.

Here is a correct RZM marking for a Youth Leader ...............

repro, the upper scabbard bands for one are immediate giveaway, there in the wrong direction,leather under the fittings look bad.RZM looks bad.....grip is flat,,,grip wrap color,crossguard to straight.pommel wrong, it just looks bad. Im sure there are many other tiny details to find on that dagger. Dont touch that one though.Tiep

I also agree with tiep.
From the first view the red flags are: grip, rzm mark and lower fitting.

I emailed the seller and he emails back,says sorry but its an original real dagger. If his dad had it 50 yrs , I told him he probably got the first fake ever made. Tiep
