I frankly am tired of defending a perfectly good Himmler dagger especially from a unknown fool like the above with 6 posts.
This dagger has been personally examined in hand at my home by multiple senior collectors and dealers including the person who posted the pictures without my permssion. NOT ONE OF THEM has had any problems with the dagger whatsoever except that the blade may have been cleaned at one time. Mad ANYONE is more than welcome to come to my place and do the same.
Anyone posting on this forum is certainly entitled to think whatever the hell they want but this will be my last post on the subject and it's clear to me why many are reluctant to post anything in their collection on forums anymore.
