SS Chained Dagger [M1936] with Type-C Chain

Well-preserved SS Chained Dagger M1936 from the late production period. According to Ralf Siegert, the chain is classified as Type C; according to Thomas Wittmann, it corresponds to Type I. Total length: 37.2 cm. An authentic late-production example with its original chain hanger.

Grip: The grip is made of black ebony wood and is fitted with the inlaid SS runes and the eagle insignia made of aluminum. Both emblems are fully intact, undamaged and firmly set. The crossguards are made of nickel silver.

Blade: Double-edged blade in good condition, free of rust or nicks. The front bears the deeply and clearly etched SS motto, “Meine Ehre heißt Treue”. The reverse is plain and unmarked, exactly as prescribed for late production M1936 chained daggers. The blade shoulders fit precisely and without gaps into the lower crossguard — a hallmark of high-quality workmanship.

Scabbard & Chain Hanger: The scabbard is made of steel and finished with a black blued coating. The chain hanger is made of nickel-plated steel, typical for late-production SS M1936 chained daggers. The Wotan knot is fully pierced; the upper link shows traces of the mark “D.R.G.M.” (Deutsches Reichsgebrauchsmuster). The chain remains in untouched original condition. The links are pebbled and no longer factory-blackened (Siegert Type C). The reverse side of the chain displays the typical SS stamp.

Historical Context: SS Chained Dagger M1936 and Chain Types C / I

The SS Chained Dagger M1936 was introduced as an advanced form of the early SS service dagger, distinguished by its iconic chain hanger with Wotan knot and SS symbolism. Late-production examples frequently feature a plain, unmarked reverse while retaining the motto “Meine Ehre heißt Treue” on the front.

The chain variations are described differently in major reference works: Ralf Siegert categorizes this chain as Type C, while Thomas Wittmann classifies it as Type I. Pebbled, non–factory-blackened links, a fully pierced Wotan knot, and the “D.R.G.M.” marking are typical features of this late chain variant.

Original SS chained daggers with untouched chains, clear motto etching, and authentic patina are considered highly desirable among collectors and are documented extensively in specialist literature.
