SS Paratrooper

For my birthday I Receved a German SS Folding Knife with the Numbers M7/66/34/SS stamped on one side of the knife. After doing some research on the Net I found only one website that clames that the knife was a SS Paratrooper Knife but that was all. Could Any one help me Find out what unit this came from and where they were involved in combat?
The Web site I found is, http://www.open.org/~lemire/Dougsauctio ... seups.html this site provides some good pictures of the knife.

Thanks,
Jim

500th SS Fallschirmjäger Battalion was used to attempt to capture Tito at Drvar in Operation Rößelsprung. Maybe there were other ones.

You're welcome.

Kinda makes you wonder what crimes SS men could have done that made them members of a penal battalion?
