Hi Everyone,

As part of my small collection I've been given, I believe I have identified my first fake ??

Grip is almost new and the Eagle shouldn't be there. I believe the scabbard is new as well plus the wrong colour.
I think the top and bottom guards are OK.

The blade, I'm not sure so help on this one please.

As usual, all comments greatly received.

All the best

Mark

Mark these are a minefield for the uneducated get a copy of "WAFFENLEITE presenting NPEA DAGGERS of the THIRD REICH" by Ron Weinand a must have book for anyone who collects NPEA daggers.
