Dagger
Good eye Mauser888, Yes, it does have the surname nicely engraved on the scabbard. I purchased this dagger on Estand, and wanted to get opinions on the pommel since the patina was a little different. It's a gorgeous dagger, but somebody went to town on the pommel with the cleaning and polishing.

Otto Schachtner
It’s your lucky day as I did some preliminary research on this dagger last year. Otto Schachtner is listed as a Kapitan during his service time. He survived the war and his post war civilian occupation was listed as “Manager”. He may have been involved in supply for a Panzer Division, if I remember correctly.
His hometown was Zeppelinheim/Offenbach and he was listed in the phone book there until 1980.
There is some distinction between the terms Kapitan and Hauptmann, perhaps someone here can explain better.
