New to the board. Buddy gave these to me. Supposedly all purchased in the 1960?s. I?m on the premise that all are pretty decent replicas. He took them to a few gun shows in the 1980?s and he said there was an interest by German collectors. Possible real parts?

Anything here worth my time? Anything I should be looking at more closely?

Thank you.

The cards just say what branch they are from.

Post the pictures please, not links. That way they last a lot longer and folks can refer to them.

Thanks,
Dave

Better pictures would help, but i would say all are either repro or parts daggers
government officials, hj,orange grip navy,sea customs and KS98 are all definitely repro

Agreed -repro or parts daggers

Customs dagger is a big red flag IMHO

They may very well be repo's and parts daggers, but still, a very nice catch for free.
Just what a new collector wants to get started, subjects in hand.
You have a great friend. Wish I had one like that when I started out.
Great catch.

To answer your original question:

There may be real parts mixed in but don't hold your breath. They also seem to be reasonably decent repros and these have a value. Not very much, but some.

As noted above, better photos will get better answers.

Thank you. We were on the assumption that they were not originals. Cheers.
