SS Dagger number ?

Hello Gentleman
Just acquired this SS dagger with a number on the cross guard.
Does anyone have a way to identify the SS man that owned it from his SS number.
Any and all information will be appreciated.
thanks
Michael

Polish helmet with eagle

I recently found this helmet in my father's workshop. I have no idea what era it was used/build but it seems to be complete. How much it could be worth? I'm going to list it in classifieds here.

18 pounder clock

ww1 curraiser pickelhaube/repro

Guys iv ordered a copper coloured repro of the imperial german curraisershelmet.I personally believe its ok to buy a repro if the price of the original is thousnads.my gut feeling is this type of helmEt is at least 2 ,too3 thousand uk pounds.I simply wouldnt pay that.The design is stunning ,and even in repro form can look magnificent in a collection.The money i have paid is i believe a givaway price.Also why buy a very rare exspensive helmet when this is the very area the fakers are working hardest at decieving collectors?I was wondering do any of the pickelhaube collectors have any repros in their collection for this very reason/?

Interesting way to wear the patt37 webbing
