One of my childhood buddies has two large trunks...STUFFED...with German WWII bringback stuff...Lugers, medals, daggers, hats, helmets, STUFFED. They were his Dad's WWII bringbacks. His Daddy was a tank commander with G.S.Patton's armor. His Dad passed away over twenty years ago.
Some years ago I took him in as a guest at the big OGCA show at the old GM tank plant in Cleveland...there are several "WWII German/Nazi stuff" guys that buy and sell... who set up there. He took a dagger with a blood red handle that looked like the one you posted. And a SS officers visors cap. Both of those "collectors" told us the dagger and cap were both"reproduction items" and offered a stupid low price. I recall his Father showing both of us what he had in those locked trunks when we were maybe ten years old.
I can see now how those scumbags "make" the money they do. My buddy, John, got pissed off and was starting to argue with the last guy we talked to. I told him not to bother... that the asshole was a con artist.
