UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Miscellaneous Dagger Forum Reviews for this dagger diplomat.

Hello fellow , a friend of mine sent me these pictures to see if this dagger is 100 % original, looks authentic but I'm not 100% sure , should not carry a small screw at the entrance of its sheath ? Do you see red flags here? I appreciate all your comments and help, receive a cordial greeting .












Thanks partners.

I also pore strange that you see in the pictures of the dagger on the pommel of his grip , he had never seen anywhere like on the network , since I do not have any in my collection Could someone tell me if it can be normal the pore in the pommel of his dagger hilt original diplomat ? Thank you for your comments.

Sure, I will help. The dagger you posted is a fake. a complete fake. There is nothing original on it. Maybe the blade but not sure on that. Don't ask for the details as the fakers are improving these all the time.

Anyway, that is just my opinion. Wait for others to reply, as they maybe think different.

What is dealers price for this ?

Hello Serge , thank you for your reply and help, because as I counted my friend who was interested in her asked about 2000 � at first but who apparently has risen in price to more than 7,000 � for sale , but you I will comment what you told me about this dagger so that it is quieter and flush , thank you very much Serge , really, thank you very much .

Your welcome Vassago.
All these parts are post war manufactured.
There are Diplo dagger features that are only found on Eickhorn Diplo/GO's, and not found on other makers.

This dagger is not not even a 'Parts Dagger', which would mean assembled from original parts, after the war. They are newly manufactured. They try to resemble a Eickhorn product like the cross guard, but it's not. And it's not by any other original pre 1945 maker.
The scabbard is not a Eickhorn
The Ferrule is not Eickhorn.
The hilt is also off for a Eickhorn.
The grip plates look new and they couldn't age them like they did the metal parts.
The Hanger also looks new.

Best of the Quest,
Serge

Serge thank you very much for your comprehensive explanation with what you tell me clears many doubts also had suspicions that it could be a dagger with other parties but had not imagined that their parties are postwar .

I am proud to belong to this great forum where I can learn and ask all my doubts , every day I learn something new with you , thank you very much Serge , has been very useful your answer.

I can only emphasize what Serge has already stated. A compete fake. Imho the blade is also a fake.
But once again you can detect that the fakers try to improve their fakes. Still not close enough.
Regards,

Thanks Wotan , with your advice and avoiding bad purchases learn a little more, I doubt arises about their grips did hilts of daggers original Diplomats are pearl ? What material is ? Because I think that plastic is not ...

@Vassago, gov and diplo daggers of the period did have mother-of-pearl imitation grips (were produced in a very special way) NOT original mother-of-pearl grips.

Thank you for your answer Wotan , a cordial greeting partner .
