This photo is what is being used as "proof" that these are genuine? really? thank God i dont collect Daggers - or deal with any of the people of sell them. A Special, early, Honor knife for HJ and SS? with Irish-Celtic pattern on both... these fall surely into the same category as the humped up Honor Bayos that are found for Wehrmacht etc etc, with outlandish engravings..
To take an original bayo or knife is common, look how the Olympic knives started out, with bogus etchings on good blades.
When you hear "Genuine" "looks good to me" "Great find" for decades, it makes the item real..and who are those who are saying, and selling them as real? Oh??? the very same people who sell the Reichsparteitage , Olympic and other stupid knives.. I dont think the "Photo" is that stupid actually, remember Gottliebs homemade Photo-Album pic, supposedly from the Eickhorn Factory? used in support that the 69,995,.- birds head was genuine? ha ha ha ha ha, at least this photo is genuine, although if this is Definite proof then its no wonder why so many have had the wool pulled over their eyes by the USA dagger Mafia.
That Celtic pattern just makes me want to chug the Black Gold and my dance on!
