This has been a very interesting thread made even more interesting because it would connect a living veteran to specific Third Reich artifacts. Given the probable age of the veteran, a rare event in the 21st century because most have already passed away. I also would like some pictures with the full dedication. And if possible some good closeups of the dagger, and especially the engraving details. I�m not a handwriting analyst and claim no expertise in that area. As a lay person, however, I noticed that that the style of (what seems to be) engraving looked very similar. And when I did a side by side comparison of a couple of the characters - it seemed to me that the similarities were very pronounced. One of my questions to the Knights Cross Winner would be or would have been regarding the engraving. Was the same person who engraved the sword langet for him, the one who also engraved the dagger?
