I'm going to make an attempt to provide some balance to this thread as a mere collector. Is there any definitive proof that these are good pre 1945 daggers? and I think the honest answer is no. However is there any current proof that these are post 1945 creations? and I think the honest answer is also no.
So much information was lost due to the direct and indirect destruction of records that what was actually produced during the 3rd Reich period will probably never be completely known.
We as history buffs and collectors from this period can only continue to delve into whatever infromation is available and make our own personal judgements depending on the information available at any given time.
To me this is one of the intriging aspects of 3rd Reich collecting.
