Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

General BS forum I guess anything is fair game in here. Just watch the subject matter doesn't get carried away too much. |

It's definately a Nazi relic if it is not a replica ofc. I will have to do some searching to see if I can figure out what particular type of dagger it is.

Well, af6ter some searching I found that it is indeed a fake. It is a fantasy knife made to look like a 3rd Reich artifact. Still, an interesting knife to say the least. It was marketed as a WWII GERMAN SS PARATROOPER DAGGER. Supposedly they were manufactured by a company in VA. back in the 70's.

Thanx alot for the info. Figures it's a fake. Is this based on an authentic knife or are ALL of them fakes? I guess what I'm asking is were there NO knives like this one made back in WW2 era or is there something about THIS one in particular that points to it being a reproduction?

Completely fabricated and fantasy. There wasn't an actual edged weapon produced by Eickhorn that resembles this knife. Still, it seems like it could be a decently functional knife for most scenarios.

Yeah I've been doing websearches for the last couple of hours and came to the same conclusion..it's fake. When I do a search on the rzm code..m7/66/34 it brings up a totally different type of hitler youth dagger. And here I was thinking I had something valuable

I have actually seen those paratrooper knives many times, even a friend of mine owns own, he difference is that none of them were fabricated to be a Nazi made weapon. They are practical and are made with a double edged blade and s single edged blade.
Many Nazi weapons are not worth much.

Any monetary value would have just been a bonus. I was mainly interested in it as a piece of history and a collectible that I thought was fairly unique. I've never run into another one like it. Oh well. Thanx for the input guys.
