It seems that in his sheet he says: "Für langjährige treue dienste der generalstab." That comes to be translated: "For the many years faithful to the services of the General Staff".

It's a well known reproduction. I hope you can send the dagger back and get back your money.

Apparently it's a MARTO reproduction from the 70's here, from Spain, it's so good that it confused me like a newbie, I did not know this example of the "Clemen and Jung, Solingen" production produced by MARTO, now, with Much disappointment.

Well, at least this experience has served me to know this model of MARTO that I did not know before.

I agree with the others, make an effort to return the dagger & get your money back. Etched blades showing the logos of Clemen & Jung, Richard Plümacher or PD Lüneschloss are almost always reproduction.
