Well it may be or may not be an original Luftwaffe second model dagger. To my eye, the suspension rings look to be of too small a diameter stock to all the ones I have had or seen. There appears to be a darkening in the grooves where grip wire was though.
I imagine "time is of the essence" so I hope others weigh in here.
