Alexei,
I agree with you 100%. I would never buy something like this dagger unless it came from the Marshal's family.
The only distinction that is supposed to lead us to believe this one belonged to Akhromeyev is the plate on the handle. For what I know - there used to be a small shop on every busy corner in the USSR where one can make all sorts of engravings on watches, rings, and various gift plates.
I'd like to see some sort of material proof and cheap plate with engravings isn't going to be sufficient to shell out $2,400.
Buyer beware!!!!
