I have my doubts about this KM dagger so I’m asking the forum for opinions. I don’t like how the eagle pommel attaches to the grip it should be a smoother transition. And the blade tip seems a bit narrow. The scaber, maker mark, fittings and etching looks good which is scary if this dagger is bogus.
Hi,
I'm short in time, but this is a put together item with mostly post war fake parts. Caveat emptor !
So many red flags. Etched maker mark, faked blade etching, postwar scabbard with pressed out scabbard bands ...

Seller operates out of one of the local antique shops in the Santa Barbara area. A few years ago I bought a U Boat badge from him that was bad. BTW he wants a walloping $1800 for this dagger. I guess he gets away with fleecing the local rich folks and tourist who don't know any better.
Here is pommel I spotted on a German site.
I can't remember seeing this variation.
Not genuine IMO.
