what is an Atwood fake ?

[Ibrahim Ahmad]

Hi all,

Ive been reading past posts in this forum and noticed that members mentioning an Atwood fake/reproduction of certain edged weapons.

3 questions to ask,;-

1) Does the name Atwood refer to Major James P. Atwood, the author of the book "The Daggers and Edged Weapons of Hitler's Germany"?? From what i read it is him.

2) How reliable is his reference book ??

3) Whats the story behind these Atwood fakes ??

Really appreciate for any help given. Thank You.

Cheers,

Ibrahim,
