These are tough daggers to tell if original.Is the ball on the bottom of the scabbard magnetic?.If it is it's real.This is a guess but I am going to say it's a reproduction that was aged.I will reseach it and see if my opinion stays the same.I might be very well wrong because that patinia is hard to fake.My opinion is based on the motto and trademark having some much blue in them after being exposed to water.Good luck
