1933 Himmler SS Honor Dagger

[Frogprince]

I see what the problem is, and it could impact value some when compared to better etched examples. But after all the effort and money to turn a bar of steel into a dagger blade the last step was the etching using acid resistant masks. So with an otherwise well done blade - would they turn into scrap metal a blade where the acid got away a little from the control of the one doing the work with just the mask for the logo? Just a perspective from more of a business point of view, and as I said it could affect the value as compared to other daggers. But still IMO a 1000 times better than these parts pieces we see from time to time.

PS: I would leave it alone myself, especially if you think it could be for sale. Because damaged and “tarted up” it WILL loose value for many collectors. In the meantime a little research into family history would not hurt - and it could change how you feel about keeping it in the family. FP

Ah, when I read "The dagger is officially up for sale" I was hoping for a SS Dagger in the price range $1500 - 2500, really want a SS Dagger :P
