Yes, but not very distinctive. Sort of an indentation at the top of the neck.

I'm new here,and an SS Dagger is on top of my most wanted list.And with the Price of them it's going to be a long time before I ever get one,and then again I may never be able to afford one.And with that I wouldn't mind having a really nice repro of a SS Dagger,and not those Plastic Handled Flea Market Jobs.I already have one of those,I fell for that one back around 2001(that's another story)  ..But these People that make these Fakes are trying to rip people off,there not trying to sell a nice Reproduction Dagger.Instead of being a Crook why don't they market them as good Repros,and then the People that really want an SS Dagger & can't afford the real thing can have one that's pretty close.They could put a small mark on them so nobody can try to pass it off as the real deal.But instead of selling them at a Repro Price they want to take advantage of People,and sell them at the real deal Price.

LSM,
The problem is that any 'really nice repro' was not made for sale as a repro. It was made with intent to deceive and is usually priced a little under the real thing. You might get lucky and find one from a dejected collector, but don't bet on it.

LSM, this hobby, like all hobbies, has unscrupulous people who are out to make money by deceiving people. To put it bluntly, they are crooks. Occasionally, an honest collector has made a mistake, including me. But, buying from a reputable dealer or collector is usually safe. In any case, a money back guarantee should be included in the sale. Good luck on finding an SS dagger that suits you and that you can afford. If possible, stay with the real thing. You'll be glad you did.

You Guys are right,instead of being honest with their Repro Daggers they try to take People for their hard earned $$.There are Crooks in every type of Collector situation,especially when a certain area of Collecting gets Hot like WWII German Items are now.And I thought about what Grumpy said about not buying a Repro,and staying with the real thing.So for right now I'm going to find a really nice early SA Dagger,and even though it's not an SS Dagger I'll still have a Real German Dagger.And I'll keep saving,and eventually maybe I'll get lucky enough to get that SS Dagger....

Hi Dave I really liked your post on spotting a fake. I'm new and I think one of the fun things about this hobby is trying to spot a fake. Here is a parts dagger currently on ebay that has 28 bids. It seems that it has the fake tang nut as shown in this post. What do you guys think?
