Thanks. It's small like a letter opener, which was my first thought of what it may be.Looks like a Nazi dagger made by Rafflenbeul

I'm no expert but that looks like part of a Luftwaffe dress uniform. Here's a similar pattern by a different manufacturer.

@cubrock you're the only one I could think of off the too of my head that may have seen these floating around at the shows.
Our resident Limey has given you as much info as I can. It looks righteous from here.
I've dabbled in these and would have to check references to tell you much. All the Nazi daggers are commonly faked and have been for years. Also, they were made postwar without the Nazi markings for commercial sale, often at the same factories that made them for the Nazis. These commercial knives became the basis for a lot of the fakes and make the very difficult to catch at times.
With all that said, it looks good in the pics. Hope we hear the story from BOG.
