Hi Arminius:
Read Ralf Seigert's chapter on Himmler daggers in his "The Service Daggers of the SS" for the most recent discussion of these daggers and documentation that supports why there seem to be so many Himmler daggers in nice condition. The book is available in German, English and now Russian. I will also be adding a newly discovered piece to the Himmler dagger story in my upcoming lecture "The Collecting Edge: Researching the Daggers, Rings, and Pins of the SS" at the The Max Show.
Enjoy!
