Daggering was invented by Fred Lowe c. 1964. This version was released by Repro 71 c. 1975 with no mention of Fred Lowe anywhere. In addition, as released, Repro 71 did not even include the Dagger itself or even an oriental stick.
I added the “dagger” for completeness. What you cannot see in the photos, of course, is the gimmick that makes it all work. Unfortunately, I have not seen an original Fred Lowe gimmick so cannot comment on how close Repro 71’s is. However, Repro 71 do provide a well constructed gimmick which works perfectly for the effect. It just would have been nice to have some mention of Fred Lowe 🙁
