Hello,
I wanted to check your opinions on those two daggers. Are they ww2 (as they are often described) or post war? Do you know any good reference book on hunting daggers. Please have a look.

I saw this on Ebay adn read Houston's guide on post war daggers and this one hits 100% of his warning signs.
I will move the post for you.

Need to go through the posts again but find it hard to "name" those daggers. How do you call them?
Here is another one I own - a Weynsberg production this time. 100% post war?

Are all of those makers post war/repros?
" In the last few years a new series of post war pieces have appeared. They are said to come from Germany and there are quite a number of different ones. They are not really reproductions as they are quite unlike original pieces but are made to appear old. They are seen quite often on Ebay/Epier. They have the following characteristics:
1. A crude etched blade with none of the fine detail of an original but made to look quite old.
2. A stamped TM on the obverse of the blade-Wyersberg�Weyersberg�Weyersberg & Co.�Alex. Coppel�Gebr. Weyersberg etc. It could be anything. These stamps are off center and uneven-some of the logo is often missing." - QUOTE FROM HC Guide.

These pieces have been listed weekly on e-bay coming out of Poland..They sure are very bad.... The current German production is much better than these. Regards: James

When seen along side the real thing these Polish copies are so obviously not the real thing. Great to have this hammered home by the experts so that us babes can save ourselves some expensive mistakes.
Always interested in buying NSDAP collar tabs and Eickhorns of any sort I collect badges and groups for the Polish Army in the West (Polskie sily Zbrojne Na Zachodzie) 1939/47 especially unit badges Contact me directly on [email protected]
