There are perhaps 4 marks where the scabbard retaining springs have rested on the blade with a couple of other smaller marks.
The blade has been professionally engraved with the following script - Betty S.lb Mac. S.lb is the shortened term for Sienem Lieben or his/her beloved. So it translates as \"Betty to her beloved Mac\".
The names Betty and Mac do not appear to be Germanic sounding but I\'m reliably informed that they have been used as a shortened term for Elisabeth and possibly the old German name of Macco. The fighter ace and Ritterkreuzträger Gordon Gollob was actually MacGollob and was called Mac by his comrades.
Very interesting and unusual engraving that I first thought may have been an American bringback if it wasn\'t for the German term S.lb.
The original portepee looks to have been tied to the dagger for ever and shows considerable heavy wear especially to the swing areas.

The ID book came with a silver plated brass plaque which I\'m assuming is a KIA commemorative piece, maybe it was fixed to a wall of honour in the officers mess?
The plaque has the name Licio and the dates 6 Giugno 1918 - 18 Giugno 1940 crisply engraved and then blackened to make them stand out (Giugno =June). Affixed separately to the plaque is a beautiful full size rendition of the Fascist pilot wing which I believe was used from 1935 to 1943. Superb crisp detail and quality.
This grouping needs further research as the Regia Aeronautica was active in the Battle of France in June 1940 so maybe it would be possible to find out who Licio was and indeed if he was KIA.
Overall a fantastic small Italian Airforce grouping and an excellent research project. Italian Regia Aeronautica officer grouping extra pics K98 Behörden bayonet for civil authorities.

Nice little Panzer album! SS Sleeve eagle , RZM period SS Sleeve eagle , RZM period , some staining but a scarce example SS Wehrpass Kavallerie Regiment, SS Sturmmann Fillip Kinkel. An amazing SS Wehrpass named to an SS Sturmmann Fillip Kinkel.
Filipp Kinkel was a “Volksdeutsch” German, born in part of Hungary. He volunteered for service in the SS and was inducted into 11 Kompanie / Rekruten Depot der Waffen-SS in Debica and took the oath of allegiance on 9 August 1942.
On 16 June 1942 he joined 3 Schwadron of the newly formed SS-Reiter Regiment 3, which was being formed in Debica ,with the rank of SS-Reiter. At the time this new Regiment would join SS-Reiter Regiments 1 and 2 from the former SS-Kavallerie Brigade to form the new SS-Kavallerie Division and was itself redesignated from a Reiter-Regiment to a Kavallerie Regiment.
At this time the commander of the new Division was SS-Brigadeführer und Generalmajor der Waffen-SS Willi Bittrich who was replaced on 15 February 1943 by SS-Standartenführer Fritz Freitag and on 19 April 1943 by the notorious SS-Brigadeführer und Generalmajor der Waffen-SS Hermann Fegelein who had commanded the original SS-Kavallerie Brigade in committing countless atrocities.
As part of the renumbering of all Waffen-SS divisions, the unit was finally given the designation 8th SS Cavalry Division on 22 October 1942 (later given the honour title “Florian Geyer”) It fought in the winter of 1942/43 in the frontal arc near Rschew (Rshew) as well as, again under the designation Kampfgruppe \"Zehender\" (\"Z\"), against Soviet troops which had broken through near Orel. In 1943, now subordinated to Heeresgruppe Süd (Army Group South), the division was involved in the defensive battles west of Kharkov, on the Dnieper and in the Kremenchug-Kirovograd area.
After approximately 9 months he is shown in the SS-Kavallerie Ausbildung und Ersatz Abteilung, Genesenden Schwadron ( recuperation squadron) suggesting had either been exhausted or developed illness during his combat service but appears not to have been actually wounded.
He subsequently spend some time on staff postings with the SS-Führungshauptamt before joining the Transport Escort Kompanie on on 15 November 1944. After two weeks he was posted to the SS-Transport-Sicherungs-Kompanie 500, his final posting. This was the security escort unit of the Transport Command of SS Main Office. He appears to have survived the war.
The pass is in very good used condition with the pages all tight and none missing.

You would find it hard to better this one Swastika belt buckle. This is a very interesting buckle. It is either an early Nazi sympathiser buckle or it's a 1930s US Army 45th Infantry Division belt buckle. The 45th used the swastika as their divisional symbol until old Adolf came along, where it quickly got changed to a Thunderbird. One collectors website mentioned that an identical buckle had been seen with Ges.Gesch marking which would indicate German manufacture and hence it would be a Nazi sympathiser buckle.
If it is a 45th Division buckle then it would be quite a rare piece.
Manufactured from blackened iron and completely unmarked.
