In my opinion any real, out of the period dagger/accoutrement in collectible condition is much much more desirable than any faked one. Also only the true ones keep any investment potential (I for myself do NOT collect for investment)and history in themselve, therefore the price.
I never would add any copies, those "potjemkin�s villages", those "appear more than you are" to my collection. I like those gaps in my collection, there have to be aims - at least for me.
Jim, a very nice dagger you have shown with all proper accouterments, pure history, I love those early all aluminium ones.
Just my thoughts.
