Hi guys the dagger came to a "friend" the dealer has not said anything my friend intends to send me pics for opinion. The dagger was shown to me and it has the "issues" that I mention here. This does NOT mean that it is not correct. I am not an authority on Himmler inscriptions. I know daggers so that is why I asked the questions that I did on this thread. Please, lets not jump to things thanks and cheers, Ryan
