Apologies for breaking up your topic / debate which I found to be very interesting. I posted this at the start of the thread, that a Heer dagger was also posted in the army dagger section with a " Heinz Brenner " inscription.
The font is identical which is nothing unusual on etched pieces but the fact that one is on an SS marked blade and the other on an army dagger is stretching my imagination
Coincidence?.
This post has gone way beyond an individual item so please feel free to ignore my enquiry.....
Degens,
You ask a good question and I really do not have an answer as to why to different Heinz Brenner daggers. What I can tell you is that about 2 to 3 years ago I engaged the services of one of the major SS researchers to try and obtain information on the owner of the bayonet. What was reported back to me was that were were a considerable number of SS Men with that name. I would assume that the name is quite common. To research so many Heinz Brenners was not realistic at that time because it would be difficult to determine who was the corrct Heinz Brenner. If the name is that popular there could be Heinz Brenners in the Army; however, it does not explain the same font etc.
Thanks for the good question.
