A surprising find!!!

[sepe]

I have one of these I found at a garage sale. I will not tell you how much I had to pay for it. Earlier this year, I was told it could be worth as much as $1000. I have seen two on Craigslist...One for $750 and the other for $1500. I won't part with mine.

The name I found was: WWII Nazi German SA NSKK Carl Eickhorn Dagger.

They've have to be in really good condition (near mint) for the $750+ as you can find ones in good condition for $450-550 without much trouble. These are marked the same as yours. There are some marked differently that are closer to the $750 (on the higher side) and then the SS go up a bit more. I've seen some very nice ones in person that were around 2k and there is one that is suppose to be unissued on Gunbroker for $5695 as a starting bid, I'd be surprised if it sells.

My son has a similar one given to him by my late Dad. I don't know much about it..

I haven't seen one of those in person but I have seen them in some online auctions. Some of the online auctions, very good condition examples have been around $1500.

I've never been able to find WWII stuff for a decent price, so this would be a great start for my collection.

Agreed if your Girlfriends father will sell it to you for about the prices I stated you will have a nice starter piece.

Pawn stars!

They don't know nothing about it, but they will call thier friend who is a Nazi/WW2 expert.
Then lowball you, remember they need to make money too.
