Reproduction? - Recognition! by FJStephens (!) states page 93:
The Krebs RAD hewer, some times called the "Fat Man" pattern because of the extremely wide blade (!!!). Not a reproduction as such, but a parts, post-war assembly. All the fittings are original, but the blades were made up in the early 1960�s to complete the assembly.
At least in 1981 FJS has had this profound opinion....

All people naturally are free to buy any phantasy, hybride exemplares of any daggers for their hard earned money. But it has nothing to do with collecting original and historic IIIR daggers.

"Never look for sqare eggs" as a late owner of an original FHH-dagger used to say.
