Re: Lebanon? Dagger....is it valuable?

Here are two knives with similar profiles. The larger one, really a sword, was given to me by my brother who got it in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, 20 or so years ago.

Re: Lebanon? Dagger....is it valuable?

Looks like a tourist knife. I have one or two, but not marked "Lebanon". No great value but kinda cute. I'll try to dig one of mine out and post pix.

Re: Nazi Army Officer’s Dress Dagger by maker Carl Eickhorn

Looks like it is legit. However, someone cut off the swastika that the eagle once held. This reduces the collector value substantially.

Renzo has the same last name as Frank, but apparently they are not related. More ways to confuse us. :?
