Hi, I'm looking to purchase a 1933 ss dagger sold by
http://www.spandaumilitariashop.com/numbered-1933-patt-ss-dagger/ I have put a deposit down on the dagger but unsure of its authenticity as the web is awash with warnings about fakes and this one looks to be a good a deal ! the dealer is selling it on behalf of a client, but before I go any further I would appreciate your valued opinion and any insight into the stamps.
The only pictures I have at present are available on the sellers web site.
Kind regards
Hi Mark personally i would very wary of this dealer as there is some very dubious items on his site, no one sells a boxed 4yr SS service medal for £100

Thank you everyone for your responses, I now have a few alarm bells ringing
Gerd can I ask why you don't think further pictures are needed ? Do you think that the dagger is a fake ?
Yes fake and you should always be weary of a site that sells SS daggers for £895 and 4 year SS for £100
If you are looking for an authentic SS dagger try these dealers they are great and will help you along the way.

Try this site
http://www.ww2germandaggers.com/I regularly buy from andrew and personally know him so i have no hesitation in recommending him
yes you will pay more but you will get an original dagger
I agree that the dagger on that site is no good!
I always buy from Paul at lakesidetrader... he's very reliable and, most important of all, he's honest!
The eagle on the grip has a face resembling a puffin!
Once again my thanks to all who responded to my enquiry, it's very reassuring there are genuine people who offer good solid advice on what could have been a costly mistake on my part. Thank you for giving me details on trusted dealers and to Kreta for explaining the reasons for it being a fake. Take care everyone and have a happy new year.
