Hello, this looks to me like a "passable" repro but, thank´s god still easily overall detectable by any experienced collector. Also concerning the troddel. Regards,

"Never look for sqare eggs" as an owner of an original FHH-dagger uses to say.
I guess it depends on how knowledgable the collector is whom this piece is being "passed off on". For me, the crude casting of the crossguard and pommel, as well as the bad blade etch (seen clearly even in a blurry pic.) are dead give-aways.
