Got a genuine one of these:
One of these:
And one of these:
All are original. I've had the daggers since the early 70's from my uncle and they're bunged in a drawer under my workbench, they're planning on being sold off sometime this year to raise funds, so not looking to anything to trade for them.
The German one in the picture is a replica but basically exactly the same as the one I own right down to the engraving/etching on the blade, it's missing the nickel end of the scabbard, the hanger chain with collar mid way down the scabbard and the SS/Swastika sign on the pommel but still has the eagle on the ebony handle. It's 100% the genuine article.
The British army dagger looks pretty much identical to the one in the pic right down to the shape of the leather sheath. I have no reason to doubt that this isn't 100% genuine either given the age I was given it. (early 70's)
The compass I was given when I was about 7 years old by an old rag and bone man, for years I thought it was a divers compass, turns out it's German Luftwaffe issue. Not too sure I want to part with that though. Saw one go on ebay for £80+ last year.
Drop me a PM if you're interested in more details and I can supply actual photos etc.

A friend of mine in California has one of those knifes along a picture of him being presented it by Hitler himself... he was 7 years old at the time and met Hitler because his uncle was an adjutant to Goering who engineered a meeting for the family. By all accounts my friend was considered a to be lovely blonde haired, blue eyed Aryan child by Hitler hence the gift...

Well my story is not quite so dramatic. My uncle got it form someplace, it hung on his bedroom wall as a teenager for years and when he got married it somehow ended up on my bedroom wall along with the commando dagger (least assume it's a commando dagger). So I've had it since I was about 13 I think.
Must be an amazing story your mate in California has to tell about that dagger and the photo to go along with it, a rare thing indeed.

Is that photo of the actual 'dagger' you have? If so it looks to be a late ( 3rd) pattern FS fighting knife.
Heaps of info on this site on all things FS...

No Johnboy, they're not the actual photos. I'll take some of mine later today if I get time. Off to work now. Laters.

Here's a pic of the two knives I have in question. Never been cleaned, polished, sharpened, touched up or anything by yours truly. Don't know why I never did, just didn't seem right at the time and now I am sooooo glad I didn't. Seen so many examples of half-ar$ed restorations. I htink my uncle may have repainted the sheath and there seems to be a dodgy looking area on the German Dagger handle that looks like filler where a piece of the ebony may have fallen out and where the top Swastika or SS symbol may have been lost.

its really funny cos the ss dagger is actually a swiss holbien design whichwas not exactly german and yet the design for the holbein goes back even further to the germanic tribes who roamed europe at the time of the romans if you google celtic sword you will find examples and the principle is in the handle shape...
p.s. id love the ss dagger and fairburn
