As collectors, we give the Germans way too much credit for how we feel they should have viewed and valued these daggers. To show you exactly how much stock the Germans put in the quality of their Damascus Honor Daggers, look at the grip eagle in the later SA Chain Honor Dagger. These eagles are the potmetal, grey, poor quality grip eagles used in the late war SAs. So don't tell me how the Germans would value their prized Honor Daggers. It just doesn't make sense to feel these were super quality or best only examples.
Ron, did they have to use any recycled HJ blades on your Navy Shooting Prize Dagger ??
Sorry, I just had to toss tha one in.
Perhaps you can post it in the Army Navy forum as no doubt it's a special dagger.
