Dagger looks to be an original NPEA stufent dagger issued to the school at K�slin (sp?). Nickle silver crossguards have a nice patina & go with the early Bergsm�ller mark.
As noted, the frog looks like a dress bayonet frog jammed into place.
Condition is the key factor here, & it's not in great shape. The scabbard dent toward the bottom will be near impossible to remove. The question is does the asking price take into account the condition.

Agree with Billy on this original early K�slin school marked dagger. I like it, has that "been there" look. If you buy it, do not try to restore this piece, just keep it as is.

Looks like a real one(minus frog) I have K 110. NPEA's are so rare, condition is not as important as say on an SA dagger. Of course better condition is very desirable, but being real and unmessed with is #1

I've found a Waffen SS officer with the same name(quite common in Denmark)..in his career file there's no mention of Koslin school(only his Hj period)...so i guess that they are different persons
