FAQ

Did Army daggers use RZM markings?

No. Heer daggers show maker logos; RZM applies to party organizations (SA, HJ, SS), not the Army.

How to tell early vs. late production?

Early: nickel/Neusilber fittings and fine handwork. Late: zinc fittings, simplified scabbards, orange grips more common.

Are these combat weapons?

No. They are dress daggers—uniform accoutrements, not intended for battlefield use.
