FIRE OFFICERS TRIPLE ETCHED SWORD, PERSONALISED ETC BY W.K & C.

Whilst the Fire Dept in Germany were technically not part of the military, they seems to be treated as such and from Imperial times, Officers and then firemen were issued with parade swords and sidearms. This is a beautiful triple etch sword, which I think started life in the late 20’s or early 30’s. I am sure it was certainly carried into the Third Reich era too. Beautifully made, it has a he...  read more

ARMY DAGGER WITH STRAPS AND KNOT BY TIGER.

Not a common maker to find and this is a complete dagger in very nice overall condition. All nickel plated fittings in very good order. Tiger used fittings shared by other manufacturers, which have become known as ‘Generic A’ type crossguard. Very good detail and no lifting to the plating. A cream coloured celluloid over wood grip with no damage. It has the original 42cm bullion portapee tied i...  read more

EARLY SA DAGGER WITH TRIPLE HANGER RARE 9/10 MAKER.

Here is a chance to acquire one of the rarer makers for early SA daggers. CARL MALSCH Steinbach Kr. Mein. Not even made in Solingen! This is rated as a 9/10 in the rarity scale and I certainly do not remember ever having one before. The exterior of the dagger is in near mint condition with uncleaned and undamaged solid nickel fittings. A superb wood grip. Perfect crossguards. Lower one with Mi ...  read more

A VERY EARLY AND RARE ‘FULL STAG’ RAD HEWER.

These were the very first RAD hewers made, and only by Carl Eickhorn. Initially the grip consisted of two identical pieces of hand carved and fitted stag horn. They were shaped to look like the recognisable eagles head and beak at the top. This design proved to be too expensive and time consuming, so the hilt was changed significantly. The metal part was extended to become the ‘beak’ and the st...  read more

HITLER YOUTH KNIFE, PLAIN BLADE BY RZM M7/72.

Another decent example of a HITLER YOUTH knife produced after 1938 so has a plain blade with no motto. However, it’s by another maker I have never heard of Kaldenbach Karl Robert (KKR), Solingen-Grafrath | RZM M7/72. The RZM code etch is deeply stamped into the reverse riccasso and partly obscured by the blade washer. Good nickel plated hilt with a little bit of surface corrosion to the surface...  read more

‘SPECIAL OFFER’ HITLER YOUTH KNIFE M7/3.

RE-LISTED DUE TO TIME WASTER……Part of a large collection I had the pleasure of buying recently. This is a post-1938 HJ dagger by RZM M7/3 (Kuno Ritter Solingen-Gräfrath). Interestingly the hilt is steel and nickel plated rather than the grey pot metal alloy they used for later daggers. Hilt has lost most of the plating and is just down to the steel base. Perfect chequered grips and perfect HJ d...  read more

“A VERY, VERY SPECIAL OFFER” FOR A FULL SA ROHM INSCRIPTION DAGGER BY EP&S.

This is from the same collection as the other Rohm I listed last week. Again a dagger that has been left alone and not cleaned ever, seems! Exterior nickel fittings have toned to a deep yellow colour with a mixture of age and nicotine probably. Scabbard is undamaged and has a full coating of the brown anodised finish, but no lacquer and a little patchy in places. The bottom ball is squashed as ...  read more

AN EICKHORN DOUBLE MARKED HJ DAGGER.

Eickhorn Hitler Youth daggers are always popular with collectors, and whist this one was made in 1939, so has no motto, it does have the Eickhorn squirrel logo and the RZM number stamped into the reverse of the blade.
Nickel plated over the grey alloy fittings. A little wear on the pommel where the grip loop rubs. Perfect chequered grips with a mint enamel HJ diamond embedded into the g...  read more

LUFTWAFFE 2nd Pattn. DAGGER BY EICKHORN WITH DISTRIBUTOR MARKED BLADE, HANGERS & KNOT.

RE-LISTED DUE TO FAILED TRANSACTION…This is not a combination I have come across very often, especially on a Luftwaffe dagger like this. It was common for officers to acquire uniforms etc from an official distributor, a private taylor’s shop for instance. Daggers and swords could be ordered through them too, and very occasionally the distributor would add his name to the item, or in this case, ...  read more
