Hello,
I am planning to buy this SS dagger? What do you think about it? Is it fake or in good condition?
How much can it worth approximately?

The grip looks absolutely new, the crossguards have no depth to the grooves and the hanger has too many stampings.

I think it is a complete fake.
Aside from the grip, crossguards, and stamps as Dave pointed out, the Maker Mark looks way off to me.
The lower fitting looks a little odd (as does the patina) and the scabbard is at least a re-paint.
I think this is a repro, top to bottom.
Run!
Good hunting,
Johnny

Hold on! The pebbled D-ring of the belt loop looks original to me!
