Thanks in advance.

Hello, concerning the firm "August Merten Witwe" (owers at 1939 were Erich, Friedrich an Werner Merten) the Solingen swordsmith which did inherit, sum up and continue A.Carters ideas, thoughts and notations states: "...During the Third Reich a few early army daggers were made, alongside some SA and NSKK daggers bearing the "M" and oakleaves above the firm´s name...."

Are you speaking about the one-of-a kind HARTKOPF army dagger?
