This NSKK [National Socialist Motor Corps] Dagger in EXC++ condition. Model 1939-1942. The total length is 37.4 cm. The Dagger has the RZM Code on the blade: RZM M7/13 (Arthur Schüttelhöfer ASSO, Solingen).

Grip: The grip on this example is one of the walnut types, which as you may know is a very hard wood. It has extremely high ridge contours, the center ridge being almost sharp to the touch. The wood is most beautiful, with a close grain that runs throughout both sides. The SA runes button is perfectly placed and has no hits to the enamel. The aluminium grip eagle is a very fine example. The bird retains all of the detail; the head, breast and wing feathering, talons and wreathed swastika are all crisp. The grip is in perfect condition and fits the crossguards like a glove. This example has very choice nickel crossguards. These guards are in outstanding condition, with deep, precise accent grooves, crisp edges, and smooth surfaces.

Blade: The blade of this example is in very good condition. The SA motto is nice and crisp with 90% of the dark backgrounding in all of the letters. The reverse of the blade is matching etched on the ricasso with a double RZM circle with shading in the center. It is positioned above the code for the Arthur Schüttelhöfer ASSO, Solingen maker, «M7/13». The blade shoulders perfectly meet the lower crossguard contour.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is straight throughout. This shell has a fine black coat of paint. The paint is still 90% and still has its fine factory newness to the color. The scabbard mounts are the nickel-plated steel variety. The mounts are retained by unturned screws which still retain their nickel plating.
