I'm posting a few pictures of a dagger for a friend who recently picked up a nice HImmler SS and a really great RAD Leader dagger. Here's the Himmler - enjoy!

Saw that one posted by Kurt on another forum a couple weeks ago. Did he send you a close-up of the Eickhorn mark?

[Skipper Greenwade]

Jeff,

Kurt did not furnish a photo of the MM, but indicated it was the more common, "smooth-tail" style.

Mine also has the smooth tailed squirrel MM. Interesting that some people do not believe the smooth tailed rodent to be from the period.

Skip,

Thanks for sharing these pics with us, although daggers are not really my thing, I must admit that this is a nice item I am sure anyone would love to have in their collection.

IN THE PARANOID WORLD OF TOAY'S YOUNGER COLLECTORS, ALL SORTS OF STRANGE THEORIES ABOUND AS TO WHAT IS PERIOD AND WHAT IS NOT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE INTERNET DOES NOTHING TO CURB THESE ERRORS. EXPERIENCE FROM THE ELDER STATESMEN OF THE HOBBY DOES NOT HELP. THE ORIGINAL WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME FAKE AND THE FAKE WILL BECOME ORIGINAL.
