Going out on a limb here but I find a price of almost $10.000 for a standard army dagger just unbelievable. Just because the scabbard has an inscription
Anyone who pays that amount has lost thousands of dollars the moment the money is transferred. I doubt if a dagger like that will fetch more then $2.000 on any militaria forum. Just my opinion. What also strikes me is that an entire unit (like a tank-division) could not raise a little extra money to give their commander a dagger with something extra like an ivory grip or dammast blade. I would have felt ashamed to give my commander a dagger that only costs a few reichsmarks on behalf of the entire unit for such an important occasion.
