Anyone who has taken apart an SS or SA/NSKK dagger has probably noticed marks on the tang of the dagger. Letters, numbers, symbols. Most daggers have them and a few do not. They were made as the blade was forged by steel being forced into the marks already cut into the billets or molds.
What they mean has never been fully explained. Are they property marks of who owns the billet or who owns the forge ? Are they marks to record how long the billet lasted ?
Your thoughts and photos appreciated of SS or SA/NSKK tangs
