without a doubt, I like the SA version as well, but the black handle looks nice.

Bret,
Nope!
The number is not in the Bernie's "The Key".
The owner probably was a NCO.
But judging by the 5 digits SS number this guy should be an early SSmann.
So, no history of the number, but the dagger has the great history (not eBan one :D) - it was found in Warsaw SS and Gestapo headquarter during the Warsaw Uprising and from this time is in my family.

The RAD machete is rather heavyweight!
That’s why this guy has the problem driving his bike. :lol:
