I am afraid i do not know where the dagger is from originally. I have bought it from the States.
Also a dagger is not SS, but SA, a unit that didnt existed anymore when the war started. So it must have been someones favorite dagger so he carried it with him.
There was also a small silver "hat" at the top of the handle, which was loose and i don remember where i have it now.
Ariel, i think there is no possibility that someone had it this way during the war, there was too much disipline and standartisation to allow this. It is simply recycling.
Valjhun, i am not sure if i understand the question, but the original scabbard is below the decorated metal sheet.
