The thing to be wary of is TR daggers are *very* heavily faked. Think Tractor Lenins times 100.
Now why a faker would do something like this is beyond me; maybe to divert attention from a less than stellar fake TR Luft dolch perhaps.
I'm a total pessimist but this smells like Latvian crapola to me. (No offense to any Latvians in the crowd.)

Interesting thought
If this dagger is FAKE - the seller (produsser) should be paid for creativity.
