The only people who seem to think that they are real, are those who are selling them, seems to be so true and of course those who bought them there is no turning back for them either.

I will back up this slight German grammar error overseen by the fakers by using this Original 1936 Olympic knife. What does the inscription say?The stamp on the packet "Berliner Olympiade" is suspect due to the fact that the games were not known by this name, but simply as the Olympics, or Olympics in Berlin, but not the Berlin-Olympics.. Re.
Then how do you explain that every example known is mint, or near mint? if they were actually sold, then there would be shop window display showing them, a period catalog mention, a newspaper mention, and if they were confistaced and destroyed, then they would have been mentioned the same as other, confiscated and destroyed Olympic items were (as i mentioned above and quoted from period sources),for all we know the blades were sold in novelty souvenir shops and were told to stop by authorities some sold the rest destroyed.
I wouldnt believe me :001_huh: and i would advise anyone to not believe anyone else either, without doing their own background check first. When you let others think for you, you get taken advantage of. These Olympic daggers are just one example of Stuff thats about today, all classed as Real by a few Names, yet no homework has been done. At the end of the day, if we want this hobby to survive and flourish in the right direction, we need to ignore what we are being told, and first do some research to check if what we are being told could even possibly be. You see, there can be no arguing with facts, yet without, we see what happens, wild stories and theories, just like the three Stories above of this dagger, and why three different big named dealers believe it is real, 3 totally different stories, that should tell anyone that nobody is really sure, and no research has been done, OR, research was done, and no results turned up, so Rumour and speculation took over.ok ,ok I won't buy one.I believe you that they are fakes.Thanks for the information.
