A RARE EXAMPLE OF A SS ‘OFFICER CANDIDATE’ SWORD/DAGEN - PERSONALISED.
I must admit I have not had many of these in my collecting and dealing career. They are quite rare and unusual beasts! This is a nice LONG example and in near mint condition. There are some really good examples pictured in Tom Wittmann's excellent SS book. This is a text-book example. It looks exactly like an SS Officers Dagen, but without the SS runes button in the grip. Same black ebony grip ... read more
RAD OFFICERS DAGGER BY EICKHORN.
Introduced in 1938 to replace the heavy hewer, the officers dagger is a much more delicate and desirable item. This one has lost the original cream celluloid grips and a pair of replacements have been professionally made in hardwood and custom painted. They look very good! Scabbard has two surface dents, one each side at the very bottom. It’s also lost the original silver plating, which is stil... read more

UNTOUCHED AND COMPLETE ARMY DAGGER WITH STRAPS & KNOT BY RICH. A. HERDER!
A very nice army dagger complete ‘rig’. This set has always been together and recently walked in to a local antique shop as is. Even the knot is in the correct unique tie and just shows enough wear to see it’s always been exactly like this. The condition is really lovely throughout and it has the added bonus of being made by a pretty rare and unusual maker Richard A. Herder. Not commonly found.... read more

RAD ‘MANS’ HEWER WITH BRIGHT NICKEL FINISH.
These large and heavy hewers were worn by all ranks in the RAD until the Officers version was introduced in 1938. This particular dagger, in my opinion was made probably in the later 1930's or early 1940's, as it is steel based with a great bright nickel finish to all the metal parts. Nice stag grip, with no issues. This bright plating technique is seen on a ew manufacturers, even on occasional... read more

A RARE SAW-BACK FIRE BAYONET WITH EVEN RARER MAKER!
A very nice example of a long Fire ‘bayonet’ with saw-back blade. Complete with original frog and the correct fire portapee. Not really a bayonet at all, but we call them such. Actually a parade sidearm. This one would have been at extra cost for the saw-back blade. In super condition with no damage or lifting to the hilt and S-shaped crossguard. Original black painted scabbard. Original black ... read more

Brass scabbard, again with evidence of fire gilding around the bands etc. A few sligh... read more
A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A NSKK CHAINED DAGGER BY EICKHORN.
As I mentioned the last time I had one of these, they have become quite rare! Introduced at the same time as the 1936 SS chained dagger. This again was introduced and designed for the NSKK officers. The NCO’s and other ranks continued to wear the standard ‘33 pattern. Whist other manufacturers produced the chained dagger, Eickhorn seemed to make the most, and this is the one most collectors are... read more
