I’m back with follow up pictures to the question I posed earlier this week. This is my first SA style dagger and it feels a bit flimsier than I was expecting.
I found this relic while on a trip around St. Petersburg Russia a few weeks ago. I can see decals on what is left of the helmet which most likely was used during the Siege of Leningrad. Can anyone help me identify what it is????
Hello,
