Hey guys, I found a guy who had this dagger for sale and I was hoping to pick it up. Can anyone perhaps give it a look over and let me know if it is the real deal. I have never bought one before so I am brand new to daggers. He said the handle was a little sun discolored on one side from being in a display forever. He also said that someone somewhere must have taken the handle off and out it on incorrectly causing the slight damage as shown. He was asking $550 or a trade on one of my Luftwaffe helmets and I wouldn’t know if that was a fair asking price or if I am perhaps being taken. Any opinions would be appreciated.
