Grip for SS Service Dagger with Nickel Silver Eagle and Emblem
Grip for the SS Service Dagger with inserted nickel silver national eagle and enameled SS emblem. This is an accessory or replacement part in the typical configuration for the SS service dagger, suitable for completing, restoring or replacing the grip on a corresponding dagger. The shape and construction correspond to the known pattern used on early SS service daggers.
Construction: Wooden grip in the characteristic form of the SS service dagger. The recessed national eagle made of nickel silver is present and neatly inserted. Above it is the enameled SS emblem, period-style internally prong-fastened. Both emblems are firmly seated in the grip and correspond to the classic arrangement found on SS service dagger grips.
Measurements & Weight: The overall length is approximately 11.3 cm, the weight approximately 31 g. Due to its matching form, the grip is suitable as a replacement or completion part for a corresponding SS service dagger.
Special Features: Especially noteworthy are the nickel silver national eagle, the enameled and internally prong-fastened SS emblem and the typical grip contour of the SS service dagger. Such individual parts are of interest to collectors and restorers of edged weapons, as original or correctly configured grip parts were often separated from complete daggers.
Historical Background: Grip for the SS Service Dagger
The SS service dagger was introduced from 1933 onward as a sidearm worn within the SS. Characteristic features of these daggers included the black grip, the inserted SS runes emblem, the national eagle and the metal crossguards. The grip was one of the defining visual elements of this dagger model.
For SS service dagger grips, the form, material, fit, type of inserted emblems and their method of attachment are important details for collector classification. Internally prong-fastened emblems and a neatly inserted eagle are especially relevant when assessing such replacement parts.
The SS was a central organization within the National Socialist system of rule and terror. The grip described here is presented exclusively as a historical replacement part and collector’s artifact, without political or ideological endorsement or glorification.
