That number is lot listed to an officer in "The Key". Your only chance is to contact Ross Kelbaugh of Military Reseach Service: email: ssdolch@ yahoo.com and see if he can find it matched to a name in the "National Archives".
I have be fortunate in Researching the Schlotter SS Dagger.
I have the full "D-List" Reports by Berne Brule & another by Rob McDivitt.
However, FATE smiled &, just by sheer CHANCE, noted SS Researcher John P. Moore with the assistance of former SS Oberstamfuhrer EUGEN SCHLOTTER, himself - had just finished the fantastic CD Compilation / Documentary of SS Signal's Officers (Nachritzenoffitzeren). The Moore CD contains 31 pages of information on E. Schlotter, with Photos!!! Simply Amazing.
John Moore & I have corresponded a great deal & I've learned even more - from Moore!!!
Schlotter & John Moore were dear friends, and John visited with him a number of times in Germany.
Here is Page 1 of SS Oberstamfuhrer EUGEN SCHLOTTER's description of his LIFE to date. This is living history....

Now THIS is a dagger I would simply love to have in my collection What an outstanding history behind this one!
Dave, you are one lucky individual Thanks for sharing this with us.
Yes, There are MORE Numbered SS Daggers yet to be ID'd..
Thanks Rob. You are very kind.
I was indeed just plain Lucky to acquire the Eugen Schlotter 36 Chained - & - to 'connect' with SS Researcher, John P. Moore, at essentially the Same time.
Now with Ross K, SS-Researcher, finding valuable information on non-officer SS Numbered Daggers, this trail of finding the Original SS Recipient - is Opening even more widely.
It may seem like a bit of 'Over Doing It' to have more than one (1) researcher perform background research (I actually used 3 initially - Brule, McDivitt, & John Moore - and found that Each had some different information, documents, Photos - which the other did not have. I'm now even having Ross K. do a 4th research on what he can come up with in the National Archives. You can never learn too much!!)
Keep Searching those Numbered Daggers & Post Them for All of us to enjoy.
