Do you know of a known "super fake" of this type of dagger, the fittings all look OK to me, the badge matches my 2 short deluxe Alcoso's, the grip has what I think is the correct colour and age to it,I suspect the blade is not right, at least the blade etch direction is wrong and that clamshell is definitely fake. personally I think somebody had the fittings with a poor blade and has added a different blade and clamshell to try and make big bucks on it. The dagger is currently on auction with Craig Gottlieb. The knot is 100% real as I suspect is the frog, I cannot tell if the scabbard is green leather, possibly it is a very dark green as it should be on these.
