Hi Friends,
I was offerd this Landzolldagger. I am ot sure if it is a fake or made from several original parts. The gip is leather and inside it is metall. No stampings anywhere. The pommel seems to be the wrong one it looks like a army daggers one! Please let me know your opinions.
Thanks dirk

Well so far the collar between the grip and x grd is wrong , its an army part.
Hi Dirk

The crossgaurd is not Land Customs either, yours appears to be an army. The leather is also very bright, as they usually tone to a dark colour with age and handling, also, the leather seam on the grip seems folded over at the join, again this wouldn't be seen on a period piece. Do the lines on the scabbard fitting run all the way around to the back? Do you have pics of the blade and tang?

Thanks friends, I passed on it since I had strong doubts about it. Great to have you here.
