SS Chained Dagger [M1936] with Type-I [C] Chain

This SS Dagger is a late example of finest quality with Type-C (Ralf Siegert) and Type-I (Thomas Wittmann) chain. Model 1936.

Grip: The ebony grip is in perfect condition. The silver SS runes are surrounded by matching double rings. The grip eagle is the aluminum type, being the "high-necked" variety. The eagle shows some wear to the center portions of the head, breast, talons and wreath areas, but most of the original details remain.

Blade: The blade is a choice example having bright finish and 100% of the factory grain. The SS motto Meine Ehre heißt Treue «My honor is loyalty» is deep and crisp having outstanding frosted backgrounds that appear to be 100%. This good blade perfectly fits the lower cross guard contour.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is straight, having fine anodized surfaces. This anodizing is obverse in good condition. 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. The links have crisp skull and bones depiction, alternating with like-conditioned SS runes. 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.
