Thanks John , found it in a car boot for 10 pounds , couldn't leave it there for that ! really solid heavy knife with good detail , the original version that is on witty's site looks superb , I know W.K.C were manufacturing kriegs daggers minus the swaz obviously a couple of years back ,oh, and mausers silver/nickel plated G98s too !! I wonder if any of these modern manufactured items have been slipped effortlessly into the collecting community ?
Regards and stay safe out there !!
Regards
Will
