Hi Folks,Just picked up this piece with a dagger and I need some opinions. Is it real or fake? Value as real or fake? I suspect it is a reproduction but from when? or who made them? Thanks for your time.

Could we see more pictures ?

Dave

Thanks Dave, as requested.

And

Do all vertical hangers have stitching across the bottom?

IMO it's a reproduction. I have never seen an original with a cast or pot metal clip.

Not all SS vertical hangers have bottom stiching. see pages 587 - 603 of TW's book.

If you look on page 598 of that SS booh, you will see the center vertical has a similar construction to yours. It is mine and if you need pics, just ask.

The thing that would make me reluctant to purchase the one you show is the clip. That type of metal with that incuse stamp is usually the sign of a fake. Sorry.

Dave

Fake-No doubt. Atwood special from the 60's. Probably made in Germany. Repro Value $35-$50. Some will say it has NO value but it will sell for that anyway.
