Third Reich Finnish Knife with SS Connections

A Finnish Kauhava Puukko, having an 8cm engraved steel blade, black leather? grip and detailed silver horse head pommel. The grip has a small silver “totenkopf” set into the reverse, and silver SS runes inset into the obverse. Brown leather scabbard has embossed decoration and incorporates a triangular ring to which is attached a silver safety chain.
This piece, along with other SS memorabilia, was obtained from the descendants of a Finnish Army soldier who, they claim, fought alongside the 6th SS Mountain Division "Nord" during operation Arctic Fox late in 1941, when they advanced into Russian territory, and suffered massive losses.
