Hi guys i picked up one of these daggers which has a wkc maker mark stamped on the reverse ive been very uncomfortable with it in the sense that my research shows conflicting info on weather wkc made any of these, ive studied alot of pics and discriptions and it really appears to be the real deal, but the doubt over powered me and i carfully took it apart. inside i have found the number 15 stamped on all seperate parts can anyone help clarify this number and the wkc. would be greatly appreaciated

Since these dagger were all hand fitted, the number keeps the parts grouped to the correct dagger. Pictures of your dagger would be helpful.

i will have some pics up shortly thanks for your interest

here are some pics

here are some more

and some more

and more thanks for al the help any info is greatly appreciated

hi john ive just posted a bunch of pics of the wkc gov dagger would greatly appreciant your feed back and anyone elses

It has really been a long time since I saw a pot bellied government officials dagger. A 1960's reproduction that still ranks as one of the best, according to Mr. Stephens.

how do these clowns get away with using wkc stamp, i sent the manufacture a pic and they confirmed it was their stamp

is it possible some parts are authentic the eagle cross gaurd is the one part i noticed was not stamped when it was apart as u can see from pics

As a matter of interest, I have not looked closely at this dagger yet but I will tonight. WKC did make GO daggers, they have the same hardware as Alcoso daggers.

WKC still makes daggers.
Their modern stamp is not the same as pre-1945.
Guys can and do switch ut the blades.
I's rather not discuss weather WKC made GO's pre 1945, what I would say is even if they did they could be a difficult sell.

thanks guys all your knowledge is greatly appreciated the quality seems there and the inner stampings i thought helped sinch it as being the real deal

does anyone have or found a pic of a real wkc go dagger i have a small reprint of a cataloge but it doesnt list it

Paul,
I agree, they did make them but still a hard sale!

The scabbard of the subject GO does not have the Alcoso pattern flathead screws; the scabbard mounts that accept the suspension rings do not appear to have the Alcoso pattern inner sleeves.

I agree Barry, those same screw we see on the RAD leader scabbards!
Also, had their type of lines around the ferrel which differs greatly from the Eickhorn daggers.

So u guys agree that even the repo guys are stamping the inner parts to give them that much more of an authentic appearance.

I just want to let u all know that i appreciate and respect all input u guys are giving me but the imput im receiving is a bit confusing this dagger is stamped wkc and being compared to alcoso the pot belly eagle im being told is repo but ive compaired on whittmans for sale sight alcoso and eckhorn identacal eagal designs is it worthless or is it possible the real deal please help guys i know theres know real comparison out there so maybe this is the one.

The number font is incorrect also.
