Yes, I forgot crossguard markings! Mine are H.E., also. kumatrax, funny you should use the term "split-tail", when I was younger[much younger] we used that term as slang for a certain part of the female anatomy!

The "serrated tail" has the "high-neck" grip eagle. The "smooth tail" grip has the "pointed head" eagle. Both have their original "anodized" scabbards and early nickel-silver hangers (non-snout nose). himmlers_(Medium).jpg (38.9 KB, 539 downloads)

Sorry, the above 2 photos are of this dagger. Tried to delete them, but it didn't work. This dagger does not photograph well, due to the original gray darkening in the etch. himmler_serrated_(2).jpg (35.19 KB, 476 downloads)

I have to admit, I do prefer my own description in this case, and would would welcome the community to switch from "serrated" to "split tail". It just sounds better.
