All ranks of the SS were authorised to wear SS Man’s daggers (see pages 48 & 49 of Johnson’s book Collecting The Edged Weapons Of The Third Reich Vol 1). This knife is one of several Nazi blades we have recently acquired that are new to the market having been in storage wrapped in Newspaper since the 1960's & 70's when they originally came into the possession of a market trader. One side of the blade is crisply stamped with the early production manufacturer’s name Carl Eickhorn Solingen & serrated tail Squirrel trademark. Eickhorn made approximately 52,000 of these daggers. ‘The service daggers of the SA & The NSKK’ by Siegert. There is no RZM marking indicating that this is an early production example. The name of the Nazi SA leader & friend of Hitler, Ernst Rohm together with 'Friendship' motto was inscribed on early SS daggers. In 1934, Rohm was accused of Treason against Hitler and he was executed. After Rohm's death Hitler ordered Rohm's name to be removed from all blades. This dagger was made with the Rohm name and inscription which has been contemporarily factory removed in compliance with Hitler’s order. The rubbing of the inscription has affected just the edges of the manufacturer’s trade mark. Over the rubbing is period engraved SS service number ‘46363. ’The other side of the blade has the correct "Meine Ehre Heisst Treue" (my honour is loyalty) etching. The black wooden grip is original and undamaged with just some minor service wear scuffs to the surface which can be seen in the images.

This iconic knife was the result of a collaborative effort by PUMA and the East Africa Professional Hunter’s Association.

Otto von Frankenburg, the husband of Renate Lauterjung, a decendant of Franz Lauterjung was in charge at PUMA .It was von Frankenburg’s influence in the company that transitioned the company into a comprehensive hunting knife maker. He enlisted the help of a friend, Walter Frevert, who was the Head of Forestry in Germany. Both men were active hunters. Designed by Puma and field tested in Africa, the locals gave it the name White Hunter, named after the European and North American hunters who came often to Africa on Safari. Many of these knives were often presented as gifts to the guides and trackers by the hunters at the end of the hunt. The double edged knife is made from one piece of steel with 2 serrated edges. The polished blade is 15 ¼ cm in length and is lovely condition with only minor signs of use. The hardwood grips are held with 3 brass studs with a lanyard hole and are unmarked.
