THIRD REICH RED CROSS OFFICERS DRESS DAGGER.
Quite an elegant dagger which has the German Red Cross symbol cast into the crossguard central lozenge. Deep orange celluloid grip. No chips but has a couple of very old ‘stress cracks’ on the surface. No material missing. Luckily these are both on the rear of the grip, so do not show from the front at all. Very bright and clean nickel plated scabbard with no damage or dents. There is a small d... read more

RARE MAKER EARLY SA (NOW NSKK) DAGGER BY CARL SCHMIDT.
RE-LIISTED DUE TO COMPLETE TIME WASTER!! A very good example of an early SA dagger with all nickel fittings, with period painted scabbard to conform with NSKK regulations. The NSKK were the motorised/transport side of the SA and never had their own specific dagger. They used SA daggers and the scabbards were coloured black to differentiate them from the SA. Early SA daggers were hand painted... read more
A NICE MATCHED SET OF NAVY DAGGER HANGERS.
Always a popular item as you need these to complete a navy dagger. These are a matched set that have been used. Therefore the shorter one, that takes all the weight, is slightly more ‘used’ than the longer one. Clips are slightly duller etc. A very nice set nonetheless with matching bright gilded lions head buckles. This is a mid-war set possibly as the buckles are slides metal alloy, not alumi... read more

A TRIPLE BLACK LEATHER HANGER FOR A RZM PERIOD SS DAGGER. LEATHER IS SS MARKED!
This is an accessory that you hardly ever get. Most either stay on daggers or lost to time. This is the triple leather hanger that attaches to the dagger scabbard ring and then to the belt,but this one also has the smaller leather loop that connects around the grip neck with a popper fixing. Very unusually the small 'neck loop' is beautifully marked with a RZM circle and tiny SS runes! I've nev... read more
