UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons European Edged Weapons Fantasy forester dagger (short sword) by Linder.

Hi gents,

Do you when aproximately this dagger was produced?
All parts are made from "German silver" or alpaca (copper alloy with nickel and zink).

Linder has a similar dagger currently in production: Forester dagger

But I’m unable to find this exact dagger anywhere.

Thanks in advance,

Alex

really nice one i like it

Just guessing, but the pommel and crossguard look identical to the new model Bulgarian Daggers being produced.

Thank you gentlemen. I agree, it does look like Bulgarian army dagger with Kriegsmarine blade.

While I was looking for any reference to this dagger on the web I've found this page with all modern Bulgarian gadders: DAGGERS

This is really nice dagger, but 100% fantasy. Note here http://www.shopbulgaria.com/edged-weapon...rious-case.html
This is contemporary model of Bulgarian Labour corps dagger, that exists since 1938.
Half of the crossguard is lionhead. Here we have crossguard with two symmetrical lionheds.
Nice work. But it not exists.

Thank you Kentavar. We collectors can use all the help we can get. Welcome to the forum. Feal free to post your thoughts and your dagger photos here.
