**RAREST MAKER OF 1933 PATTERN SS DAGGERS**ORIGINAL**EARLY PRODUCTION**WW2 Era Nazi German Robert Klaas Solingen 1933 Pattern SS Man’s Dagger Unit Marked ‘I’ To (SS Group Munich) Motto Etched Blade & Scabbard. Sn 23246 - 23246

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 Robert Klaas Solingen and is without RZM marks indicating early production (Klaas made only circa 1,000 1933 pattern daggers and are rated rarity 10 (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 no damage and just light areas of scabbard rubbing consistent with service carry. The black wooden grip is original and undamaged. The Nazi German National Emblem and 'SS' runes roundel are original and secure. It has a heavy nickel cross guard & pommel. The guard is unit stamped ‘I’ to SS Group Munich. The dagger is complete with its original anodised metal scabbard which has no dents. The black finish has evenly faded with age. The scabbard has a single hanging ring and nickel plated chape and throat mount. The price for this rare Nazi SS piece includes UK delivery. Sn 23246 (NB Original SS & NSKK dagger belt hangers are available separately on this website)
