Though I have been casually following some of the discussions on the forum, my dagger collecting has been on hold for a few years. With renewed interest I have been going through my collection. Here are some miniatures I picked up along the way. I know absolutely nothing about these, and they are not my collecting interest. I have always assumed that they were just novelty items, likely of recent manufacture. But I figured it might be a good idea to get an opinion before I dispose of them. Any help with these would be appreciated. I would be glad to provide any additional photographs if needed.

Wolfgang,

The only one that I would entertain doubts about is the Imperial Navy dagger. These were made well after the end of WWI and WWII. Perhaps someone else will comment on it.

It is hard to nail down the time periods for the other swords but they do appear to be originals to me.
