Need better pictures of the guards top and bottom.....all of the blade , both sides.... whole handle shot, both sides.
Ive set a goal......find a FHH and buy it from a vet.

It looks good to me.Does the lower crossguard have a number stamped on the bottom of it.Do the fittings have a yellowish hue to them?.None of the above questions prove anything,but nice to have them if so.

Zorro is asking the proper questions IMO. Also, the blade, probably original, appears to have been cleaned and polished to me.

The dagger looks good to me...it would be nice to see a bench mark upon the underside of the lower crossguard however.....this would be a good score....nice dagger, cheers, Ryan

Could somebody give me an idea what sort of price range would be sensible for this particular Himmler? I want one just like that!
Thanks

Check dealer sites: Lakeside Trader (who is a member here), johnsonreferencebooks.com, wwii daggers.com, etc. A great deal depends on condition. The better the condition, the higher the price, generally. Expect prices to range from around $6500 for one in fair shape to $12,000 and more for a nicer one. Only "Eickhorn" made these daggers. Prior to buying, I would post photos here for evaluation.

I am not sure but pictures look like fake and scammer seller PAWEL NOVAK's pictures . If the seller is Pawel Novak Be aware because your payment will be lost.
