From what I see in the photos, the dagger is real. The grip is poorly repaired.
Is there a scabbard ?

The scabbard has been repainted but is otherwise OK and correct for this era of dagger. The hanger and belt loop are good too.

I agree, looks original. A good grip repair would do wonders for the overall look, if you are one who doesn't mind some restoration. An antique shop, wow, nice.
