Hello,chaps....I wonder, are any of us lucky enough to own a KM honour dagger? The type I am refering to is version with Diamond pommel bestowed by....Reader(1)and Donnits(7).(Roughly?) To U-Boat aces etc. If not, do they ever appear for sale and if so what sort money do they make. I don't recall ever seeing one displayed at any time on our forum?....Any answers would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
Hello,
there are some more honor-daggers but they are not 100% accepted in the collector-world. Such a dagger is very hard to sell if You can`t show a full provinience to the piece.
For excapmle there is a honor dagger for sale since a few years here:

I once had the oppertunity to see a real cased one. This is the most stunning Third Reich artifarct I ever saw with my own two eyes. That and a real Grand Cross. How could i see this? Just because I know one of that upperclass collectors which showing their treasures in the expensive reference works. I think these daggers are (almost) impossible to find. They just change hands in the highest level of the collectors community. I think it is not only a question of big money but also good connections with the few wordwide owners. And to be ready when the want to sell.

visit a german military-show and you can buy one including the case...
but without provinience.
