Hi All: Here is a link to the SS dagger No. 14 372 that is for sale: http://www.militaryantiques.co.uk/showpagec.ihtml?cat=326&jump=9There might be a lot of information on Reichenthaler in the Archives since he had a long SS career, but I have not had the chance to look into him as of yet. Enjoy! Ross Kelbaugh www.ssdaggers.com

Hi Lexxy, I am not into daggers with what I consider to be "tired" blades BUT maybe worth a look see due to early history of Owner. JMO Seiler (Yank in UK)

Hi All: I was able to look into Karl Reichenthaler, SS No. 14 372 some more at the Archives. As I suspected, he had an extensive SS Officer file (101 pages) with service in the Allgemeine-SS and Waffen-SS. Here is the best of his 3 photos. The dagger is now found at this link: http://www.militaryantiques.co.uk/showpagec.ihtml?cat=326&jump=8Enjoy! Ross Kelbaugh www.ssdaggers.com

And here is the reverse. Evaluation of the dagger itself is a matter I leave to those of you with that expertise. Ross Kelbaugh www.ssdaggers.com

Doug:
I give up ... what is a 'Winkeltrager'?
I believe that a 'winkel' is a chevron.
