SS Dagger [Early Model] with Hanger by Böker Solingen

SS [Schutzstaffel] Böker Dagger in early Version. Modell 1933. The dagger is in EXC++  condition throughout. This early SS Dagger is with the maker Böker Solingen.


Grip: This grip shows no repairs, and fits the crossguards. The dagger is an untouched early Böker piece having solid nickel cross guards. These guards are the optional type used by Böker. The reverse lower crossguard is district marked with the Roman numeral, "I" for Munich. The guards are nice and smooth throughout, having crisp edges and precise accent grooves. The ebony grip is a very choice example having no flaws and showing almost no usage. The interesting SS runes button is turned all the way to 7:00 o'clock. The SS runes are nice and silvery, with matching double circles around them. The nickel grip eagle is the style with a beak that points upward slightly.

Blade: The blade is bright throughout and shows a good deal of the original crossgrain. There are some usage signs here and there, but basically, this blade is in near Mint condition. There is also some "pimpling" that appears in the backgrounds of the letter font centers, which is typical of this maker. The reverse ricasso is marked with the "mausoleum-style" logo, having the stark, leafless tree in the center of the opening door to the crypt. The blade shoulders perfectly meet the lower cross guard.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is also an outstanding example; it is straight as an arrow and retainsthe original “anodized” finish. The matching nickel mounts are in fine condition. The mounts are retained by four original nickel screws.

Hanger: The original-to-the-piece vertical hanger remains in really great condition with its coffin-shaped reverse. All of the leather is still supple to include the scabbard retainer strap and the strap with the buckle and hasp.
