Thanks everybody for your comments! It is interesting to read them as the item originally comes from Weitze and they claim to have aquire 180 piece collection of Wewelsburg related cutlery (see attached picture from their website). I guess I will contact them and ask about the items and authenticity of them

Question JB...... They "Weitze" have already decided it was authentic by offering it forsale....why would you inquire on it after you bought the knife and then bring it here ? ...and then want to go back and ask about authenticity?......you know what they are going to tell you..and not going to tell you it's not authentic.
Why did you come here ...... and its an honest question

Your thoughts ?

I didnt say I bought the item from Weitze, I just know the origins of it. As a beginner collector I just wanted to know more about it and it's origins. I didnt mean to offend anybody, sorry if I did
No offense taken JB..just your post above was a little misleading . and then your recent post stating it came from Weitze ..has had some confusing effect .by JBMankinen
Question again ..did you acquire this from Weitze a long time ago ?

Just being devils advocate but Weitze will be selling this stuff on behalf of someone else? Then they are surely going to be led by what the vendor tells them, and then perhaps some research/experience on their part. But given the lack of documentary evidence and mystery surrounding Himmlers SS castle it would be difficult to prove they are real. However the Nirosta (stainless steel, non rusting) mark is period as is the blade maker, the only question mark is the SS markings.
