Hi Igor
I think you need to post the ID book on this forum for further review ,,..it looks too new and clean.
https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/soldb...s-ausweis-etc/
The dagger you can not connect with the ID book ..as it has no documentation saying that it belongs to Fritz Todt.
Without this kind of support...anyone can add a dagger to anything or a medal ..bayonet ..cap etc etc .
The dagger has no visible issues that I can see and appears to be in decent condition.
Regards Larry

There is another thing to consider.
This is the first model Eickhorn designed, which Always comes with either a slanted (Type A) of with the Type B grip.
This late type C grip is a later addition, most likely the grip cracked and replaced by this one.

as Larry stated, there is no connection with F.Todt, the RAD workers had no army rank and therefore they did not had the permission to wear an army dagger.
And Larry, the Fritz Todt you show is a different person, if you look at the right document you can ee his date of bith 2-3-1924, so in 1940 this kid was 16 years old.
The Fritz Todt you show was born on 4 september 1891.
gerrit.... Great information.
Thanks'.. Take care.
I called the auction house where I won the item and found out that the item is after Fritz Todt Junior, he was a Wehrmacht officer killed in World War 2. the subject to the Munich auction house was brought by daughters Fritz Todt.
What do you think about price and subject? Thank you for all the reviews
they had the same first and last name/Igor
Unless you have a letter from the Todt daughter confirming that the Heer dagger pictured is the very same one her brother owned, then there is no provenance. As both Larry & Ger point out the documents you show do not link this dagger to Todt. Not even the assurance of the Auction house is sufficient, you need confirmation from the Todt daughters the story is correct. Without that you have some Todt jnr documents and an average dagger, that may or may not be unconnected.
Thankyou Ger exactly my point and thankyou for showing the birthdate.
Maybe in the future we will see Hitlers Wehrpass ?

This story is of course a complete made up one, in fact its a bullshit story
this dagger have been issued in 1935 or early 1936 as its an Eickhorn type 1.
The F. Todt on the documents was 11 years old or maybe 12....
as always, do your reseach and buy the item, not the story!!!!
Ger
Im sure the auction house .....will say that special exceptions were made for 12 year olds to be Wehrmacht officers.
