Today it should not make great problems to get a rectangular base out of a round base by help of heat and high pressure. Sorry, but for me this dagger is a fake.

It looks to me to be an interesting assembly of previously unrelated parts.

The blank surfaces of the pommel and guard do not seem to belong on the same object as the hilt, which itself can't seem to decide how it intends to be decorated. The cruciform marking is not in keeping with the other decoration.

Bear in mind, I know little or nothing about this sort of dagger, so you're getting an opinion backed only by my aging eyesight.

Looks modern to me.

Oh I understand, the collector was old, the friend was old, so the dagger must be old too. May be, but the bajonet M 1916 is old too
