SS Pocketknife ID needed

[ChrisP]

I'm looking for anyhelp from anyone who may have information or ideas as to the origins of this knife. I obtained it in a trade with a guy I used to work with (police dept) He told me that it belonged to his grandfather who picked it up in the ETO during WW2. I am really eager to know more about it and any help would be greatly appreciated. I was going to post some pics but seem to be unable to do so. (What does it take to post attatchments?) The knife is about 5-6 inches long. Its a dull silver color and has a swastika and an oak leaf each at opposite ends surrounded by oak leaf wreaths. It has 3 blades. The longest one features Adolf Hitlers sinature engraved on it along with DRITTES REICH and two swastikas. I can e-mail pictures to anyone that thinks they might can help please let me know at peaveycm1@juno.com Thanks,
Chris Peavey

What did you trade for it? Hope it isn't one of these and you didn't get burnt.
