    Hard to tell exactly from the picture quality but has the look of a newer reproduction.

    Looks like a fantasy piece modelled on Nazi ceremonial daggers. The overall form is that of a dirk, but not the appearance.

    I'd agree. Some of the repros have those words also, and there have been a great many repros.
    Info on the RAD dagger design and history:

    Information on recognition of genuine vs. repro:
