Re: NPEA Leader's Dagger...
These are extremely rare and hard to authenticate. I forget his name, but there is a gentleman whom specializes in this dagger. Maybe someone can come along and give some info. on him. As for my opinion, I know NOTHING about these but for what little I've seen, I actually like this one. If it turns out to be original, you have got yourself a wonderful item there sir. Good-luck
Add: I also believe this is the correct marker, the only marker? I really like the crossguards on it.

Re: NPEA Leader's Dagger...
Youthcollector is right,, and the gentlemans name who specializes in these is Ron Weinand . Your NPEA is a nice find but......The crossguards IMO are that of a student dagger as it has the HJ Bann number to the right of it.,, which is common with student daggers compared to the leaders dagger which does not have numbers stamped to the right. The photos are good but makes the scabbard look black as all NPEA dagger scabbards were Olive drab in color. Show better photos of that if you can. To find out the whole truth if you dare to venture there is to take a look at the crossguards and the tang, for markings. That choice is yours but for now I feel you have decent piece,,minus the ( black scabbard ) and the student type crossguard. You have a type 2 logo variant ( with the hyphen ) of the Berlin Charlottenburg. Nice to see that. The number 140 is from the town of Koenigsberg and the HJ Gebeit,, name Kurmark.
The NPEA was mostly compromised of students coming from orphanages...and having their minds twisted into a sick doctrine. These type of students IMO are to be more feared as the were the rabid of the Youth organization. Stolen innocence of youth skipping over into manhood,, and becoming the countries future leaders.

Re: NPEA Leader's Dagger...
Hi Larry,
Thanks for your input. The color of the scabbard was distorted in the first pics. It is OD as shown in the accompanying pic. As to disassembly I don't have the little wrench for taking down these Holbein types.

Re: NPEA Leader's Dagger...
Amazing information Larry, thanks for the contribution.
Add: to above post, This is why viewing an item in hand is so much more valuable than a photograph.

Re: NPEA Leader's Dagger...
A little more information on the school itself..Schulpforta was the 14th NPEA in the school system. Enrollment had grown to 155 students and eight classes by 1942.

Hi Gerrit,,well as stated it was a matter of opinion,, but I am glad you replied. Is there any more information you can share on the differences between the Students dagger and the leaders dagger ,,,especially in the "crossguard" area? I am sure it can be confusing especially for those and myself who are not familiar with this type of dagger. regards Larry

Re: NPEA Leader's Dagger...
Hi Larry,
currently working on the one above for a friend.
left side shows NPEA school, otherside is as far as i know the accountability number.
what concerns me on the one originally posted on top is the shape of the crossguards.
Im only familiar with the early nickel/silver type shape of Burgmuller and they are totally different from the one here shown.
Hope that someone who is familiar with the late zinc cast alloys can straighten this out.
One should see on the chrome plated one the shape of the H in the cast metal, its normal that the chrome will lift at the breaklines but the H should be visible in the crossguard, be sure its an old stamp, cant make that up with these pictures.
the stamp made on the softer nickel guards go deeper and will look larger then the ones made in hard zinc chrome plated ones.
The shape of the Sch looks fine to me, but better pictures have to make that clear.

Re: NPEA Leader's Dagger...
Looking into the crossguard types of Burgsmuller, the daggers with the logo Burgsmuller Berlin have the type crossguards that your dagger has.
The Charlottenburg 5 Berlin logo has the type crossguards like i posted
Cheers Ger
