Just rec'd a nice Puma Heer dagger complete with original hangers and portapee. The reverse of the cross guard has nice gothic inscription of original owners intials: "W.v.B" with the 'v' smaller as in Von.
Soooo... wondering what the chances are that I might actually be able to trace the original owner. Yes, I've ruled out Werner Von Braun
I know from my time at the National Archives that SS officer records are readily available but I havent ever researched Heer officers and I dont think NARA has those records?
Dagger is real and so is the engraving so no concerns there. Just hoping I can link the dagger to a person, "famous" or not.
Thanks
