Default Some SS Daggers! HELP!

Some HELP as I'm still looking for my first SS, here are some for thought:

1) Transitional Maker Marked-Eickhorn





2) Concerned about the blade here: RZM 188/35






3) Chained

Regarding the 188/35.

The pics are not the best, but TM and motto pattern,are known for this producer and looks ok.

The chained is later type nickel plated steel, has desirable age-ing should have an un marked blade.

Maker marked blades are accepted as an owner upgrade who purchased a chained scabbard and added his
previously purchased marked dagger. Initial production 1936 chained model daggers are considered to
have had unmarked blades.

The Eickhorn has an obvious fake blade, appears to be a Spanish copy, don't touch that one... Like the chained tho, very nice.

Go for the chained, 188 is also original, so if the price is right for this condition you may consider buying it. "Eickhorn" would be of course a bad choice.
