Hi!
As I mentioned earlier myself and others I know who are extremely dependable have vet purchased these over the years. I just returned from visiting a friend who is one of the most knowledgeable people around on Third Reich daggers. We spoke about these and in his 50 or more years of collecting he has found the ones that would be considered �text book� were all early nickel silver with painted scabbard examples. Furthermore, the ones that would be �text book� were all internally marked PA.
Lastly, are they easy to sell? No, at this time they are near impossible to sell! However, they are legitimate. With the �old timers� this is the only configuration that would be considered a Third Reich era piece. The rest could be considered parts daggers.
Best Wishes,
Bob
