I think the Himmler letter opener has been discussed about 100 times or so!

Hi,

blah blah blah... Always the same debate.
With doubtful items, the owner (seller ) had to PROVE his point that this is a REAL legitimate item.
To say that "my item is real" because your are showing worsest and ugliest items is not a factual proof at all.
I can list you as many as 25 (!!!) different types of fake SS-Germanische Leistungsrune, and this is not because some are "better looking" than others that they are real.
Without any factual proof, the item will be fake/dubious. Period.
How many topics did we saw on the WAF like this one ? TR, "pink" smock, SS wood box...

Dubious item + fantasy story = time-consuming topic.

See You

The letter opener that started this topic is a post war reproduction. There were some period letter openers that were constructed remotely similar, but this one no doubt was not a Muller item before or after the war, and nothing more than a reproduction trying to simulate the real thing.

And about Paul Muller himself, if understand it right, the "echt damast" is seen on early postwar blades: http://damaszenerstahlforschung.gmxh...ul_muller.html

Too many bells and whistles. Whoever made it went overboard to make this letter opener, "original". SS runes in the handle, Himmler signature on the blade, Damascus steel, Mueller markings. All in one package? I have my doubts. Per Shakespear, "The lady doth protest too much".

Sure, but didn't the SS birthday degens have all those "bells and whistles" too?
