Ah, the German Diplomatic Corps ceremonial dagger issued in comemortaion of Hitler's 1938 visit to Rome. A very limited number of these were made and issued to senior members of the diplomatic corps, only to my knowledge made by Alexander Coppel and Carl Eickhorn. The dagger was discontinued in 1942.

The dagger should be 39 cm long in total and all were hand made, the grip (missing on this example) was synthetic mother of pearl. Surviving examples of these daggers fetch upwards of $6000 dollars if they are sold on the open market.

This is not one of those though. This is a cheap replica worth maybe $5 to someone who likes to dress up as a nazi diplomat on the weekends. Here are a few things that are wrong:

• Eagel on crossguard facing wrong way with undersized claws.
• Swastika sloppy and irregular.
• Grip is the wrong shape. The originals had a grip for a single continuous piece of synthetic MOP, this was made to have two pieces.
• Clear and unremoved casting marks all over the thing.
• Steel grip, originals were brass or nickel silver.
• Original grips were handmade and had a makers mark and number inside the grip, these are cast and lack mark and number.
