To stay on the save side i would never buy an Alcoso, Eickhorn or Pack army dagger with parts that weren't produced in their own plants.
Patina matches after 50 years + so if swapped in the 60ths, 70ths or even the 80ths you will not be able to tell.

Ger Ger raises an excellent point and it’s something we see all the time. Something may have come home from the war exactly as it is but many collectors are put off by something not being “textbook”. I like the unusual especially if it has vet provenance but non-textbook usually means it’s worth less.
