WOW...nice catch rob. Zeker niet 1 van marktplaats of kapaza...(not one from local internet ads) Super dagger that's for sure.

I never stumble upon these beauties for affordable prices...Maybe that's just my problem....LOL. Affordable is defined by the person..not by the dictionary.

Erg mooi!!,

Groeten,

Peter

A truly STUNNING dagger!
Congratulations on this fantastic catch!
Good hunting,
Johnny

Awesome piece that would be the highlight of any advanced Army dagger collector.
Well done !

Many congratulations Rob! when do you start selling tickets for your private museum?

Did you get any info on Oblt.Haverland?

Thanks guys ! ( Peter ,deze komt ver uit duitsland ) this one is from deep in Germany .
Has anybody seen a klaas etch?
Gustavo , you will be the first to know
And no , no info .
I will have somebody research it.
Do you know anybody?

Rob, it will be my pleasure to help you. I will start with my published ranklists and lists of award holders when i get home, and check the German archives in freiburg later. If we have sucess there, Ill just charge you the �15.34 fee they charge me plus the copies. Will email you.

The 256 Inf reg was part of the 112 Inf Div, based at Truppen�bungsplatz Baumholder. they were all but wiped out in Aug 1943 as Orel fell to the Soviet army. Remains of the division fought in and around Kiev, and in Nov. the division was disbanded. Lets see if this Oblt shows up in the published sources

That is very nice of you Gustavo !
Actually , I also have a grouping that I discovered some time ago (the one that has the sword with reversed swastika in it )
and another sword wich has initials and a date .
Oh , forgot , and a army dagger , if you want to help me out please send me an e mail with how I can pay you.

something interesting before somone says that "kompanie-chef" is incorrect and therefore this is a fake post war inscription

Both "kompaniechef" and "Kompanie Chef" were used. chef was applied only at kompanie level, and denotes permanent assigment as opposed to kompanie fuhrer which would denote temporary. Kommandeur applied only for Battallion and above

This is a very nice etch! WELL done! Great info from Gustavo as well. Your knowledge of the researching of these pieces is invaluable to this forum!I hope I will be lucky enough to have a piece worth researching soon! Best of luck to you both. Kevin
