EARLY 1st Pattn LUFTWAFFE WITH RARE MAKER & PERSONALISED.
A great looking dagger and an early example so would have just been worn by a Luftwaffe officer. All solid nickel fittings that have not been cleaned and have a great yellow patina. Brass swastikas in the pommel and crossguard still seem to have some gilt present. Nice blue leather grip with triple wire wrap. There is an original short 23cn portapee tied around the grip. Looks to be its origina... read more

MOST UNUSUAL SHOOTING ASSOCIATION DAGGER/CUTLASS WITH ORANGE CELLULOID GRIP.
I’ve had a few Shooting Association daggers recently, in fact I have another by Horster listed elsewhere. These are rare pieces, and whist the German Shooting Association existed in the 1900’s (and before) and still exists today. The Third Reich Shooting Association as a para-military organisation, only existed for a few years in the late 1930’s, before being disbanded and suitable members draf... read more

SHOOTING ASSOCIATION DAGGER BY E.F. HORSTER.
The Third Reich Shooting Association was only briefly formed, before being incorporated into the armed forces. However, the German Shooting Association has existed since WW1 and continues to this day. Most of these daggers were produced by Eickhorn or Alcoso, but a few other companies made them too. E.F. Horster being one of them. This has the normal fluted celluloid grip and AMAZINGLY it is un... read more
EARLY SS '33 DAGGER BY EP&S.
A very good example of an early SS '33 mans dagger by EP&S. SMF is short for Ernst Pack & Sohne. They did make other daggers across the range. SS daggers by them are few and far between. This is a very nice example of an early SS with all nickel fittings and an anodised/blued scabbard, which was their standard way of finishing their early scabbards. Great uncleaned upper and lower nickel crossg... read more

1936 SS CHAINED DAGGER WITH KNOT-RZM PERIOD.
Introduced for wear by Officers in 1936, these spectacular daggers were worn/made up until around 1942. As with all dagger production from the early 1930’s onwards, as the constrains of the war gradually changed everything, the materials used to make these daggers changed too. We all know how the early SA and SS daggers were made with solid nickel crossguards etc but after the RZM became involv... read more
RARE SHORT BLACK HANGER FOR SS DAGGER RZM MARKED.
Trying to find any accessories for SS daggers is extremely difficult. I was lucky enough to buy a few hangers etc as a ‘job lot’. Several were brown SA hangers but in the bottom of the pile was this one with black leather!! It hasn’t been touched or on a dagger for a very long time, so the leather had slightly moulded to itself. The nickel plated snap clip is in near mint condition and is marke... read more
SS ‘33 MANS DAGGER WITH VERTICAL HANGER RZM 1196/38.
An interesting, original SS mans dagger. There is an identical piece pictured on page 172 of Tom Wittmann’s wonderful SS book. As he states in the description, this maker appears from time to time, but has yet to be identified. (Possibly now identified as Ed Wustoff?). The dagger is a typical RZM era piece with nickel plated over grey alloy fittings. The plating has thinned on the upper and low... read more
