A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A RZM PERIOD 1936 SS CHAINED DAGGER.
Whist collectors strive to buy a nice, early SS chained dagger, this history of these pieces follows with time of production too. Introduced in 1936 these daggers were made with nickel plated fittings etc. However, as time progresses and war shortages took hold, all SS daggers and all SA daggers changed in the materials they were made with. The RZM also took tighter control and standardised con... read more

PERSONALISED LUFTWAFFE FIGHTING KNIFE.
An interesting example this. These fighting knives were often personalised by their owners. Usually just a set of initials carved into the wood grips. However, this one is a little better as the original owner has indeed added his initials on one side W.F. but on the other side he has added his divisional regimental symbol. This is a stylised ‘R’ and is the squadron symbol for Jagdgeschwader 2 ... read more

HITLER YOUTH KNIFE BY RARE MAKER ‘KUNO RITTER’ M7/3.
I can’t remember having a HJ knife by this maker. Whilst it has an RZM marked blade, the dagger itself is of early, all steel construction, not the later cast grey alloy. The dagger has been properly used, so I can’t describe it as mint or near mint!! The nickel plating has worn from the hilt revealing the steel underneath. The chequered grips are perfect and the enamel HJ insignia wiggles (qui... read more

AN EXCEPTIONALLY NICE RAD OFFICERS DAGGER WITH STRAPS.
Coming from an old collection, this RAD Officers dagger has been well looked after and is in lovely condition throughout. The silver plated fittings, both on the hilt and the scabbard, obviously have a high silver content as they have developed that ‘blue sheen’ that uncleaned silver does. The dagger is made by Eickhorn. These daggers are prone to ‘bubbling’ on the plated surfaces. This one has... read more

RARE HANGER FOR LUFTWAFFE PARADE SWORD.
Hard to find as things like this were usually lost or thrown away after the war as people did not think they were important. Now sword and dagger accessories are sometimes rarer than the dagger itself! This is the blue leather teardrop hanger that connects the integral crescent hanger on all Luftwaffe swords, to the wearers belt! Every Luftwaffe sword would need one. You can’t wear the sword wi... read more

A GOOD, MATCHED SET OF THIRD REICH NAVY DAGGER HANGERS.
A period set of gilded aluminium with blue moire cloth straps. These hangers show good, honest wear and would suit a navy dagger of similar vintage. Matching lions head buckles show some wear to the high points. The reverse shows identical ‘star’ casting marks. The blue/black moire cloth straps are in great shape. The velvet backings show dome wear on the short strap (it carries all the weight ... read more
