Luftwaffe 2nd Model Luft dagger, odd blade

[stevo4361]

Hello Gentlemen,

I've been out of collecting for a couple of years now, and even then was an EK guy, so this is a bit out of my league. This dagger is being offered to a friend of mine for sale, and the only info available at the moment is this picture of it. From the research I was doing so far seems like a 2nd model Luft dagger. I'm not really sure if authentic or not, as specifically cannot find another dagger like it with a similar blade engraving. Hope you guys can help, and would appreciate any info

Thanks,

Steve

A little closer. No info on any maker marks or anything like that yet.

Any opinions guys? Apparently not a maker marked blade, and pattern on blade is also on the reverse side, with no other markings or etchings.

Hello Steve,

The dagger appears to be a repoduction that is presently being manufactured in China.
