Here's an unusual DLV I wanted to share with you guys. Maker is Alcoso. Has no "K" on the quillon and no scabbard throat stamps. The crossguard wings are shorter than other makers. It was a vet bring-back. Grungy but I like it anyway. Regards, -serge-

Fitting appear to be nickel silver.
The swastika is enameled. Shows wear and some loss.

Well that is somthing. I have never seen a DLV/NSFK by Alcoso before. It is definately of unusual construction.
Tiep- Are you saying that your is by Alcoso as well?

Look at the "ball" on the bottom of the scabbard.Not correct it should be oval shaped.In Repro/Reco.by F.Stephens pg.96-97 he gives a discription.Only thing right are the placement of the upper scabbard screws.

Bad fake IMO. Also the Helbig hanger plate on the center dagger is not at all correct.

I used to have a fake that was identical to that, same maker same kind of fittings no stamp on the throat etc. Right down to the wonky edge on the blade the same as in your picture.

Hey Serge,
Sorry to see this happen to you. It is true though, we have all been there.
Just a bump in the road buddy.
Good hunting,
Johnny
