A eagle talon handle knife and leather sheath, blade marked J. Stortz Munchen. Overall length is just under 10 inches. Knife is accompanied by a letter from Gene Nelson Member 101st Airborne Division "screaming Eagles" WWII. A paragraph in the letter attests" All of these items were collected by me in the vicinity of Berchtesgauden in 1945. The German dagger with the leather sheath and the large talons came from the "Wachenfeld Haus" where we found many items that Hitler received as gifts and the people in the vicinity failed to find, all the medals, some flags etc." This letter, along with the knife is contained in display case. The letter dated 1979. Knife in very good condition.
