Fantastic, many thanks for the photos.

I have been considering purchasing a H Himmler inscribed dagger, and found some of the literature contradictory. Particularly on the numbering of cross guards.

Presumably numbered SA and SS daggers must be very early production. So Eickhorn numbered Himmler daggers, the same as they would do on other Party daggers, until a certain point when they stopped bothering. Perhaps they numbered the trays of parts instead as mentioned above. Really interesting, thank you.
