Werner, are you able to post pictures of the swords? It would be nice to first determine if they are real.

Hi Walter,
Not now.
First, i must ask to my friend.
how many oakleaves with swords were they allotted?

Regards
Werner

I don't have my books with me at this time, but I believe around 120 to 150 were recipients of the swords. I will need to confirm this number.

Hi Walter and Werner,

There were 160 recipients of the Swords to the Oakleaves of the Knight's Cross. 24 for the Waffen SS and 76 for the Heeres.

Regards, Thomas
