Totally bogus. The blade is not shaped correctly and the damascus looks like modern "artificial" damascus. The crossguards are incorrectly designed. The embellishments to the blade are added to deceive.

Agree with above, its a fantasy piece. What does the scabbard and front of the handle look like?.

The Inscription is wrong if it were from Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler it should be Unserm not meinem which is singular stupid or perhaps deliberate mistake

Fake for sure. A "fantasy" piece. I would bet there is no scabbard for this item.

Along with the other issues mentioned the blade looks shorter and out of scale, almost like 3/4
size.

I'm sorry to say at best, a fake/fantasy dis-mountable letter opener. With a grossly undersized blade to hilt ratio for its construction. FP
