Well I will say one thing...from the pictures just posted of the center mount..it appears crude and amateurish as opposed to the work of craftsmen..how does it compare to the center mount of SS and SA honour pieces? The quality seen in other blades seems lacking in many aspects on the NSKK pieces..does anyone want to offer an opinion as to why this is? Certainly an honour dagger of the NSKK would be of the highest quality and craftsmanship..afyer all look who's name is on the blade...I have seen many and have held SS and SA honour in hand, never owned an example..they do not seem comparable at first glance in this regard...cheers
