UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Miscellaneous Dagger Forum WW1 stag handle boot knife

Fellow collectors I would like to ask Your opinion on this boot knife. I considered this one as a WW1 close combat knife and after some period of owning it sold. Now I'm accused that this is not a WW1 combat knife but this is a fake. I/m a little confused ad would like to hear Your opinion. I know that lots of WW1 weaponery (edged) was private purchased and let's say custom made. I do not want to be treated as a cheater (people make mistakes). That is why I ask. If it is fake I want to refund but want to be a bit closer to the truth. Thanx for help...
