This is a rare original 1933 pattern SS Man’s Dagger and scabbard. All ranks of the SS were authorised to wear these daggers (see pages 48 & 49 of Johnson’s book Collecting The Edged Weapons Of The Third Reich Vol 1). The blade of this example is crisply marked with the Nazi manufacturer’s trademark of Rich Abr Herder Solingen and is without RZM marks indicating early production (Rich Abr Herder made only circa 1000 1933 pattern daggers with this trademark and are rated rarity 8 (10 being the rarest) in ‘The service daggers of the SA & The NSKK’ by Siegert). The blade has the correct "Meine Ehre Heist Treue" (my honour is loyalty) etched Blade. The blade has areas of staining consistent with age and one small nick on one edge close to the hilt. The black wooden grip is original and undamaged. The Nazi German National Emblem and 'SS' runes roundel are perfectly fitted. It has a solid Nickel cross guard stamped ‘I’ & solid Nickel pommel. The dagger is complete with its original anodised metal scabbard which has just one small dent. The scabbard has a single hanging ring and solid Nickel chape and throat mount. The price for this rare Nazi SS piece includes UK delivery. Sn 21518 (AS WITH ALL OF OUR STOCK THIS ITEM IS GUARANTEED 100% GENUINE)
