Can anyone direct me to a good site about German daggers? A professor at my college showed me a dagger- sort of slim with pearl collored handle shaped like an eagle at the end, the hilt has a swastika in a small wreath in its middle and the scabbard is metallic with a dress tassle and two small belts which come together to a clip- she said her father was given by a dying German officer in the Fatherland in '45. Her story about her father was also pretty interesting. She said he was a tank recovery soldier in Patton's Third Army and that he spoke German. The dying German officer spoke a little English as well and come to find out, both men had attended the University of Arizona at the same time!
