Gordon, first here comes the Koz?k example. Plated plane blade. Maker marked and numbered (659).

Dear Hunyadi, First I would like to congratulation for you for your study on Hungarian fake daggers. It is VERY useful for dagger collectors. But your statement: "The blades are plain without any marks or distinguishing maker's marks, serial numbers and never ever with engraved names." is not true. I am with you: I have never seen any original Hungarian AF dagger with engraved names, but there ARE genuine daggers with maker mark and serial numbers. For example the maker: Koz?k Antal marked AND numbered the daggers' blades he produced. Ther are known makers of the AF dagger: M?sz?ros Lajos (highly faked), Koz?k Antal (faked also), Morzs?nyi (not faked), etc. And there are very nice etched (but NEVER gilted!) blades also. I have four officer and an NCO dagger in my collection. I would gladly post pictures if you interested. Greetings from Hungary, J?nos
