SS Dagger [Early Model] with Vertical Hanger and membership no 108844 – C. Bertram Reinh. Solingen

A very fine and fully original example of an early SS Service Dagger from the 1933–1935 production period, manufactured by the scarce maker C. Bertram Reinh. Solingen. The lower crossguard is stamped on the reverse with the early Roman numeral “I”, a depot/issue marking associated with the SS Main Depot in Munich. In addition, it bears the stamped SS membership number 108844. Total length: 37.4 cm.

Grip: The grip is made of black ebony wood in the typical early shape. The inlaid SS runes and eagle are produced in nickel and are correctly crimped in place. Both crossguards are made of nickel silver (Neusilber). The lower crossguard carries the Roman numeral “I” on the reverse — a characteristic early marking used by the SS Main Depot Munich prior to the introduction of later standardized regulations.

Blade: The blade remains in good condition with crisp geometry and an authentic, untouched surface. The obverse displays the deep and sharply etched motto “Meine Ehre heißt Treue”. The reverse side bears the logo of the scarce manufacturer C. Bertram Reinh. Solingen. The blade shoulders fit precisely into the lower crossguard — a hallmark of high-quality early production.

Scabbard: Original iron scabbard with fully preserved black factory finish. The fittings are made of nickel silver and are secured with two small side screws. The upper fitting features the typical closed suspension ring. The scabbard shows an attractive, even, age-related patina without major damage.

Hanger: Original SS vertical hanger made of black leather, fully functional and correct for early production daggers.
