Could you tell me about the actual German officer ww2 dagger?, my grandfather killed a German officer in ww2 in hand to hand combat and took the dagger from the corpse. Due to family issues it has been destroyed and I never got to see or know about it.
@@liamhayward1083 There were A LOT of types of daggers, this one is probably the most common, the grip is not Ivory as this lady says, they are most commonly celluloid. They would have been worn by officers of the Heer, which is the army. And they are no where near 1500 dollars. That is way too much. The dagger in the video was not in beautiful condition like the woman said either.
yeah, she is excellent for art and furniture, but I saw her military video and I was a bit skeptical. $400 for a poilu ww1 helmet is crazy. you can find them for like $100 maybe $150 max. They definitely are valuable though, but just not $400. Literally millions were made. They are littered around France.
I agree with you 100% I have a SS honer blade with Heydrich Himmler signature on it. The SS Dagger is similar to a SA dagger but with a black handle the same eagle and swastika and the top of the handle have the SS markings with a black scabbard mine is in black leather. the SA dagger is a brown scabbard. Have a great day
The majority of officer daggers brought back from Europe are from post war dealers. It was known how much u.s. soldiers loved souvenirs, specifically side arms and parade daggers. These daggers were massed produced for years. tooling and left over inventory were readily available. Many investors bought into this inventory and assembled more daggers from original parts for sale to occupation troops. This is what this dagger is. The story is made up. You wouldn’t find a dagger for a german army officer on an ss officer. They had there own SA style daggers. Also a ceremonial dagger would not be worn in combat. This unfortunately the story of alot of vets who got to Europe too late to see combat and for decades during the cold war. The demand was so high for these they started making fake copies in the 1960’s. Because the dagger is a vet bringback and complete, it is worth 700. Without the vet connection 500-600
LOL! What a poor review! Awful condition! Wehrmacht Heer lower officers dagger (NOT SS) with knot and hanger goes for around 800USD in GOOD condition all over Europe. That dagger in poor condition would go with knot and hanger for around 650/700USD My advise, Keep it. Dont sell. Great family story attached to is.
This woman literally knows nothing about this dagger. She literally just bluffed her way through this. Not SS, Not ivory, Not officer, Not worth $1500.
Lol ridicolous. Shes an expert? First of all, it aint from an SS officer, Its a wehrmacht, a normal army officer dagger. Second, its not ivory. Third, it aint an edged weapon, and it was not in use, as in the mentioned intent, since this aint a weapon in the first place. Its ceremonial dagger, intended to be worn in parades, not used as bayonete. And finally, the price was COMPLETELY off. But whats important is to look at it with magnifying glass, that says Im an experts, I saw it on movies.
1500 for this ? Hell No Lol in Belgium the same one for 300euro to 500euro max =D 1500 in belgium is the value for a Original S.S dagger , or a very rare S.A dagger ... Price are so Hight in USA ... condition is not good at all ..
Just a regular late period Heer dagger in poor condition. That's not an ivory grip either. Condition and rarity are everything to a collector and this has neither.
@@arvastefan4267 I know a reasonable amount about German daggers, but very little about their bayonets. The guy named “zero” in the next comment down looks knowledgeable and he might be better able to answer your questions.
Jeez Dr L, glad I haven’t used your appraisal service ! This is not SS! Terrible Condition ! One can buy this type Officers dagger for $250-$500 all day! I have 12 !
I've got a yellow handle one. E.F Horster or however it's spelled. My Grandfather fought in the Aleutian islands 43to44 then Rhineland and Central Europe Jan 45 till the end. His 355th infantry regiment liberated Ohrdruf April 5th and 6th of 45.
Looks to be an authentic piece but it is not in great condition. The blade finish might only rate "fair" and looks to be peeling on the scabbard. Should anyone pay the appraised price there will only be disappointment.
This lady proves little knowledge of subject within first minute , so many errors along with a dubious story line from beholder of said piece and it being a strictly dress piece personified (Heer) not combat.
Awful review she asks too many Questions to hide her lack of knowledge just awful she is completely clueless on this piece and tries to bluff her way thru it.
That is in terrible condition. Rust and wear on the dagger. It definitely should not be sharpened as they were for presentation. These particular daggers at most go for $800-$850. This is easily around 400 if even someone would actually want to purchase it
@MSgt Baca what? He is not wrong this is a 400 to 500 dagger, nothing special about it at all. As for a army dagger it's at the bottom of the price range from condition to white handle. As a collector the chance of ever coming across a ww2 German army dagger worth $8000 is about zero
Common Army Officer dagger with a seldom seen maker. Not an ivory grip, celluloid most likely. Blade not in the best of condition, old fingerprint stains. $800 US.
Think that Dr. Lori needs to go back to school. What a nonsense is she telling. Its a late ware piece with probably a plaster filled grip in bad condition.

Your best ability is to bullshit your way through an appraisal. Not SS, not ivory, there was no swaz on the reverse, never is, it's in bad shape, the portepee is wrong, and the value is 2/3 less than stated.
Not a lot of close ups on the dagger but it looks to be a Heer officer's dagger. $1500 is a bit high. If it had blade etching or a name engraved on the crossguard or blade I can understand $1500. It is complete with portepee so more like $700 to $800.

Not SS. Just a very common army dagger. $495. Average condition , poor blade condition.
She knows nothing about German daggers

How can you appraise things you don't even know about? That's army, not SS, it's in terrible condition, & it's synthetic, not ivory.
just a standard issue army off. dagger, worth about 500 in that shape
She really has no clue what she is talking about. That is Wehrmacht, not SS, and it is worth about a third of what she appraised it at.

@@jamielieberg7053 Heydrich Himmler? You mean Heinrich?
@@jamielieberg7053BS, they didn’t come in leather scabbards!
Army officer dagger like this goes for around £380 in the UK depending on condition
Almost double that now. How things change in a couple years 😢

The fake combat story doesn’t add $100 to the value 🤷🏻♂️

It’s a rather poor condition army dagger , the value is more like $400 than $1500 , she obviously has no clue
I promise you grandpas story is BS.
It’s a very common army dagger!
Poor condition, too….
If that's hand carved ivory, she's not fat.
😂😂😂

1500 for this ? Hell No Lol in Belgium the same one for 300euro to 500euro max =D
1500 in belgium is the value for a Original S.S dagger , or a very rare S.A dagger ... Price are so Hight in USA ...
condition is not good at all ..
I wouldn't go to her, she has no clue.
Everyone's grandpa killed an "ss officer" but one with an army dagger! Wow lucky man. Lol
Most of those daggers were sold to stationed soliders after the war.
It is known that the allies did take "trophies" during the war. Didn't have to be a dagger or bayonet either. Kinda gives one an icky feeling.
That is Wehrmacht not SS or SA.
Just a regular late period Heer dagger in poor condition. That's not an ivory grip either. Condition and rarity are everything to a collector and this has neither.
You seem to know your stuff. Can you please help me identify a couple of bayonets and a similar dagger to that but with orange grip
@@arvastefan4267 I know a reasonable amount about German daggers, but very little about their bayonets. The guy named “zero” in the next comment down looks knowledgeable and he might be better able to answer your questions.
Army dagger not ss, celluloid grip, not ivory
Buy the item, not the story!
Thats a regular Army dagger.
Blade is in bad shape, grip is NOT ivory!
She knows nothing…🤷🏻♂️
Jeez Dr L, glad I haven’t used your appraisal service ! This is not SS! Terrible
Condition ! One can buy this type Officers dagger for $250-$500 all day! I have 12 !
I hav noticed the same things, this lady is not good with third reich items.
Better than a soul crushing "I'll give you a hundred bucks for it".
ye no defenetly not 1500
more like 400 max as its in poor cxondition
Hey I have one of those!
Different grip material though
I've got a yellow handle one. E.F Horster or however it's spelled. My Grandfather fought in the Aleutian islands 43to44 then Rhineland and Central Europe Jan 45 till the end. His 355th infantry regiment liberated Ohrdruf April 5th and 6th of 45.
Same
Fun to say stuff. Always an ss officer never a buck private. Not ss to boot da fuk

PhD in appraising, no research on the piece at all.
SS? No, sorry! It is a lesser quality late army dagger that definitely needs professional cleaning. Which will cost more than it is worth.
This might be a $500 dagger lol. Definitely Wehrmacht not SS why would she embarrass herself so badly?

It also has the hangers setup, add $200.
