Thank you Fred for the added informations about the "left over" parts from Solingen. When I was in Munich 3 years ago, I went to see someone that supposely was assembling post war daggers with a mixture of fake and original parts. I did meet the man in question and he was indeed selling these post war assembled daggers. They were indeed made with some left over parts, parts taken from original daggers and parts newly made from the Czech Republic and Solingen. In all honesty, they could've fooled any new collector starting in the hobby but they never would've fooled anyone with a bit of experience and knowledge. Actually, the best repros that I have ever seen so far, are the Hirshfangers made by Eickhorn, other than that, just plain juke. I'm yet to see a perfectly faked SS or SA EM dagger, perhaps a part dagger but not a completely newly made dagger, nooooooooooooo !
