Hi,

We can�t talk here of �type 1� or �type 2� because these (wartime or postwar) chains show a mixture of both types�

Some observed particularities:
* 4 non-magnetic chains (type 2)and 1 magnetic chain (type 1).
* Link connector cut-outs have sharp 90 degrees corners. (type 1)
* Link connectors to the wotan's knot are bevelled. (type 2)
* One dagger has a �type 2� scabbard center fitting, 4 daggers have �type 1� center fittings but the chain links and snap clips (with no "DRGM" marking) are the same.
