Thank you for added comments Wotan. Certain daggers, like the HJ Leader, must be viewed in person to be totally sure. One dead give away IMO, it the blade finish and the very tip. After you view several in person, traits of the originals become obvious. The plated finish on Horsters and the needle like tip are next to impossible for the reproduction artist to duplicate. Go to the shows and look at as mamy HJ Leaders as you can and, over time, you will see what I am addressing in this thread.
