I can believe the story about being used post war.
For example a friend of mine has an original Flieger-Kappmesser (Luftwaffe Gravity knife), it just sits in his garden shed and in his own words ‘I use it to cut my bean canes’.
I have tried many times to buy it from him, but he won’t sell it because his father in law (ww2 veteran who picked it up during the war) gave it to him.

Good and believable story. The killing and processing of a pig is still a family activity in rural Hungarian areas. I was once a guest to one of these events. We already drank strong Pálinka at 6 AM in the morning when the piggy was brought in.

Yes, this is true, I have seen many daggers used by soviet soldiers too - something like a field knife.
The only part I have trouble believing is that it has been obtained during the 1942-43 operations near the Don front. Altough it's not completely impossible, but i highly doubt an NSKK member would have had this in military operations on the Eastern Front.

Vocht, as a hungarian I can tell you sometimes the partipicants get too excited and are already quite drunk by 6 am, making the whole process lengthy and hilarious, altough not for the pig. I wonder how many piggies met their end by this dagger.

The only story I can see in front of me right now is a horrible to a piece of history.
The scabbard appears to be NSKK.
Also its not necessary to cover up the runes button. We are not politically correct here and this forum studies and researches history.
I am also leaning on the scabbard possibly being early due to the patina...but photos only show what appears to be.
