I have received several inquiries about Reddick Rohm's lately. The dagger depicted is clearly a fake throughout. The cross guards are wrong for an honor dagger and are the wrong color. The grip, as noted is postwar. As to the blade, no doubt it is a Reddick. His blades are slightly smaller than the real ones and have a dull greyish look. These are postwar fantasy pieces, often seen with repro Himmler blades as well. They are fairly common in the USA. Reddick repro's come with a variety of trademarks, as a rule. The etching tends to be quite good, but not up to the standards of originals, nor is the crossgraining. Any collector, other than a novice, can spot these things for what they are in a matter of seconds.
