A pair of Bokers but 4 of a kind!

[TP Alexander]

Well, I prefer to put anything SS up here, even though it ought to go in the Dagger Forum.

I bought the #'d Boker on the E-Stand, attributed to Untersturmfuher Dr. Werner Rüttgers. I had always wanted a #'d SS, so I indulged myself, I guess. Numbered 4444, this kind of explains my 'four of a kind'. I also have the four Karpatien Deutsches Ehrenzeichen awards, so I had gotten the habit of the 'fours'. So, it was kinda' irreversibly tempting. Watching it on the E-Stand was givin' me the Joneses!
After receiving this from the USPS lady,I had even considered getting rid of my ground Röhm Boker, but after pulling it out of the case, I can't bring myself to do it.
Here's the two of them.
Ground Röhm on the left, #4444 on the right.

The ground one is in better shape. These three pictures had been taken indoors. The rest were outdoors. Sorry about the reflection of the phone in the pictures.

Technical diffuculties...Please standby!

I had originally thought that this was a ground Eickhorn, but I was told it was a Boker.

[TP Alexander]

Obviously, it was factory ground. Nice job too!

I wasn't happy with the pictures, so I redid them.

The 'MONEY' shot....Oh baby, oh baby!!

One question.
The information that I got with the dagger only covers up to 1938, where it shows the good Dr. to have been promoted to Untersturmfuhrer.
Having been born in 1910, he would have been 30 in the year 1940.
Can someone tell me how I might find out about his subsequent service to 'Die Vaterland' after 1938?
I am checking with the persons that did the writeup pictured here.
Thanx,
Tim
