Im no expert on these, but i dont see anything wrong with them. The numbers are strange (being exactly 300 apart and all using the 0 and 4 and what could be a 6 turned unside down to make the 9) but i dont think thats the case, because i dont see any thing wrong with the daggers themselves.

I agree with Rick-curious coincidence on the numbering but from these photos I see no issues

Looks like there's sufficient detail where there needs to be. Very interesting coincidence about the numbers but even a skeptical guy like me thinks these daggers are original.

I think both dirk copy. For that would not be unfounded. Notice the bird on the grip, and if we get better photos then I think that trademarck is not the best quality. On some Russian forums discussed in detail these post daggers and made a comparative picture. I run them here.

These daggers have enough mass circulation in the collections and dealers the former Soviet Union. When comparing two dirks with normal and this bird you'll notice the difference in the geometry and dimensions of parts.

I think it's not unusual for one producer dirks unreleased short period of time. Some specimens even have the same number. Close pictures logo with marriage etching.

To den70 I do not agree! Daggers look original, maybe a repainted scabbard I do not mean your posts and photos of the author topic

Sorry, but Spanish copies from the late 1960s IMO. Fonts on the letters and number wrong, grip insignias very bad and in the light the composition of the pommel and crossguard should look too golden from wrong metal base. The larger pommel on the one dagger is from an RLB EM and not the right size. Many other problems too much to go into this late.

These daggers would fool many collectors especially the one with the smaller head on the grip eagle--but the funky grip eagle, TM, font stamping of the numerals and letters and the snap are immediate indicators of an improper piece. It's truly amazing that any factory capable of production of such a piece would not make it correctly. They could do it-no question. But for some reason-they have not--Yet.

Lol..I stand corrected.From the orginal photos they looked good to me. Im hoping this is one of those cases where if in hand and closer (like in the later post)you would be able to tell. Good post. This is a post people can learn from.

Vitali(alien), can we hear your arguments about the originality of dirks topic starter?
Dmitry(Dimon2002), I put pictures in your theme as not all the American colleagues can see them in the original themes on the Russian forums. I think that your new pictures only confirm my opinion. Just trust the words of the original or a fake is not worth it. Let those who tell you that these daggers originals argue their position. I clearly reasoned my opinion, Ron and Houston gave his opinions on some things indicating that he did not like. But defenders of the items were of the opinion only with no arguments.
Perhaps the first photos could be misleading, but the last of your photo to help make a final verdict this dagger.

Based on the better subsequently posted pictures & certainly the opinions of some of our most experienced members, I'd also have to rethink my thoughts. With the better pictures I can see one of the maker's marks that certainly looks off as well as the larger of the 2 grip adlers. I didn't pick up on the crossguard numbers being off but am glad for the info to study. Many of the Postschutz copies I've seen were not this well done & with the addition of 40+ years of age, they do look convincing.

Den70 has shown us different daggers from the topicstarter have. He also gave false info. Thread ignored because of trolling.

Some additional information--when we saw these daggers in the 70's-along with many other repros-in my memory-the fake Postschutz daggers did not have chains -also when seen in hand they did not have good definition of parts,and had, as Ron said- the wrong finish. Originals have bright nickel plated fittings while the fakes have yellowish or dull colored fittings. Also you might notice that the fake grips are a bit too thick in the center. It is also interesting to note that these 60's-70's fakes are very seldom seen today-and there were hundreds if not thousands on the market at one time. Where are they? In collections-all over the world.

I am a young collector, and such discussion it�s good help to guys like I�m. And guys like Ron, den70, Houston thank you for you help. I can not so easily as you define those copies, as far as its real dagger or not. I read the forum carefully, this is one of the best and detailed discussions for last time. My collection is very modest and somewhat daggers SA and family bayonet of my grandfather, who he brought back from the WW2. I do not understand these guys like, "anlvd2� and �alien" if they think staff is real, let him give his opinions, each time to see if the original or not. And so it is only "blah, blah, blah" I know some guys. I think maybe, someone sold the daggers to Dimon2002, and now trying to make the original. Or are you trying to be his "lawyers" seller.

Wow ! What a dust up ! Hard to tell who is who and what is what. By the way, "Crusader", if you are from "Camberland,MD", how did you sign up from the Ukrane?

Tails are larger.Original and a fake.
I ask to pay attention to length of a carving, that the letter-H th to a fake is brighter, better than on my original. Other photos original daggers are welcomed. Thanks.

Paul, Dimon2002, from Russia, posted two Postal daggers. Shortly thereafter DEN70 said they were fakes and being discussed on Russian forum and that they are common there. He posted pictures that are convincing. Alien, also from Russia, said they were OK but offered no reason. Dimon2002 said he did not understand and Ron Weinand said they were known Spanish copies. Alien said that he daggers were "normal" .. again with no supporting argument. Dimon2002 added more pictures and Huston Coates said they would fool many people. DEN70 asks Alien and Dimon2002for proof. anlvd70, again from Russia sides with Dimon2002 and alien but offers no proof. Huston Coates adds more detail about the fakes. Crusader signs on, saying he is from "Camberland, MD" and posts a somewhat difficult to understand opinion from ... somewhere in the Ukrane  Dimon2002 makes three posts protesting. Alien posts Dimon2002's pictures saying there is no cause for concern. Ivan 66 posts a good photo analysis showing why he thinks they are fake. Very convincing, I might add. That's it so far. Dave

Now all together, 2 fakes and one original.
I consider that shafts on fakes identical on manufacture, letters H-counterfeit, a carving long.
