SS Chained Dagger [M1936] with Type-C Chain and Portepee

The SS Chained Dagger is a late example produced in 1939 with Type-C (Ralf Siegert) and Type-I (Thomas Wittmann) chain. Model 1936. The dagger is in fine condition throughout. This late Model 1936 SS Dagger is in an uncleaned state. The chain dagger comes straight from the family estate and was in no collector hand.


Grip: The dagger has excellent nickel-plated cross guards, still retaining 100% of their plating and showing only modest age. The matching, nickel-plated tang nut is in good condition. The ebony grip is a fine, RZM type, having sharp contour ridges. The grip is in perfect condition with no repairs. The SS runes button is nicely-placed, having perfect enamel and double circles around the matching runes button. The grip eagle is the aluminum type, having "high-necked" style eagle. All details are visible to the bird's head, breast and wing feathering, talons, wreath and swastika. The grip nicely fits the cross guards. Wrapped about the grip is what appears to be the original-to-the-piece aluminum bullion portepee. The portepee is looped about the upper grip and double looped around the lower portion.

Blade: The unmarked blade is a nice example. There are some minor scratches near the obverse upper edge and some normal in and out markings, but basically, this blade is in good condition and rates at least excellent plus. The SS motto Meine Ehre heißt Treue «My honor is loyalty» is crisp. This good blade perfectly fits the lower cross guard contour..

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is straight, having fine anodized surfaces. This anodizing is still in fine condition, remaining at 98%. The scabbard mounts, since they are part of the Type I chain assembly, are also nickel-plated. The upper mount remains in fine condition. The lower mount is showing some age to the plating. The center mount features the raised intertwined swastikas - there are three on the obverse and three on the reverse. The mount surfaces have a good pebbled finish. The plating of the ramp is showing some age graying, matching that of the Type I (Type-C - Ralf Siegert) chain assembly. The links have crisp skull and bones depiction, alternating with like-conditioned SS runes. These links all have excellent pebbled back grounding, and the connector tabs are in perfect condition. The matching open-style clover leaf has the DRGM letters visible at the below snap clip surface. The first link of the upper chain is deeply stamped with the SS Kulturzeichen proofing.
