Bernard can tell you if they are real or fake.

Understand, we're not chasing you away, BerberDagger.

Its just that we don't have much expertise on this forum for these kinds of weapons. They just don't fit

, so you are better off asking about these particular ones on one of the forums more oriented toward Western military arms.

The definition of an "ethnographic weapon" found in the posting guidelines is really for the purpose of informing people of the kind of interest and expertise they are likely to find here.

Berberdagger,

I completely agree with Mark. But I can tel you that the ss-dagger is a new made replica. I recognize this thing, because I see those daggers often here in Holland. About the other dagger, the pictures are not good enough but I'm afraid it is a replica too. A real german WWII dagger is extremely expensive and you need a very good and reliable dealer for this stuff. And even then, when they handle a well made replica, they sometimes are mistaken.
