Ultimately promoted to SS Obersturmbannfuhrer in 1944, his first units were Standarte Germania, Standarte Deutschland, Standarte Nordland, SS Division Viking, SS Volunteer Mountain Division Prinz Eugen and finally 21st Mountain Division Skanderbeg. The Division SS Skanderbeg comprised of ethnic Albanians and Volksdeutsche and were involved heavily in anti-partisan operations in the Balkans. There have been statements made that he was the last Commander of Skanderbeg; however, that is in dispute through recent research but he was undoubtedly was a high ranking officer within Skanderbeg and Prinz Eugen to the end of the Second World War. This sword and dagger have an interesting history; they were obviously both liberated at the same time, more than likely from Graf’s home, and were brought back to the United Kingdom. The sword was sold to a notable collector of the 1960s and 70s and then purchased by the present vendor in the early 1980s. Some years later the dagger was seen at an Arms and Military Exhibition in the United Kingdom by the present vendor and he noticed the matching number and purchased the dagger, thus reuniting the two pieces. Included in the accompanying research file with the lot is a letter of 1986 from a researcher back to the present vendor where he has helped with the research of the history of Alfred Graf; it also would appear that many items of Graf’s were liberated, as in 2020 his SS Totenkopf ring was sold at auction along with some of his medals, and consequently there may well be other items of Graf’s circulating within collecting circles. These two items have been in the possession of the owner since the mid-1980s. This is an age restricted lot: the successful buyer will be required to either collect in person, or arrange specialist shipping.
