Boy do I love daggers! Very cool!! 🗡️🫶

Can hear the jelousy in your voice haha

Well this is a nice and informative place to be , there has been a lot of German war memorabilia over here in the UK , and so many fakes especially where the daggers and various other blades are concerned so it is good to find someone who knows their stuff . I love a good blade but my knowledge of WW2 blades out side of the British Army is about as comprehensive as a tea leaf's knowledge of The East India Company ,so I am very happy to have found you .

Thanks for the comment Richard Skinner! I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It really is a shame there are so many fake things out there but my goal on this channel is to help collectors the best I can to navigate our hobby full of landmines. I hope to see you in the comments in the future!

Your pronunciation of soll-engine is on par with german war crimes. Its Soll-in-ghen (accent on the last syllable).

Thanks for the comment jakubfabisiak! I hear what you're saying but at the end of the day it doesn't really matter to me too much. I have heard it pronounced either way before and in fact, at least in my experience, I've heard major collectors pronounce it the way I chose to pronounce it more often than the way you provided. But I appreciate the comment nonetheless!

Thanks for the comment seppehens! After my friend got these badges in hand and having more time to authenticate them there was a couple of badges that we thought were fakes that we found out were actually original. I believe that one was included in those so great eye!

Hate to break it to you, but that dagger is not genuine.

A common problem in this hobby is many collectors are quick to state that something is not genuine without any explanation. I have had this dagger reviewed by about a dozen very experienced collectors that I trust very much. This dagger has been viewed by likely hundreds of not thousands of people with at least some experience in dagger collecting. You are the first and only person I have come across who has claimed it is not genuine. Please at least for my benefit explain your reasoning as to why this example is not genuine.
