A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY SS ‘33 DAGGER WITH VERTICAL HANGER BY HAMMESFAR.

These daggers remain EXTREMELY popular and are hence harder to find and increasingly more expensive. This is a lovely example of the early 1933 dagger worn by ALL members of the SS until the Officers only dagger was introduced in 1936.
Solid nickel fittings throughout. A perfect ebony grip with nickel eagle and SS button. Lower crossguard stamped with Roman numeral III. The scabbard has nearly ALL of the original LACQUER over the ‘anodised’ finish. It’s been protected a lot by the original vertical hanger which seems to be original to the piece as the slight rub marks on the scabbard attest to this. The vertical hanger is SUPER and has very nice leather and criss strap. The belt clip is solid nickel. I carefully took the vertical off and it has perfectly stamped RZM details inside. Very lightly stamped and crisply done, as ALL originals are!!
The blade is 98% mint with full crossgrain polish on both sides with deep and clear SS motto.
The Gottleib Hammesfar trademark and logo are on the reverse riccasso. A choice SS dagger with much desired vertical hanger.
