SS Honour Dagger H. Himmler – RZM M7/36 [Collector’s Reproduction]
Collector’s and museum reproduction of an SS Honour Dagger H. Himmler dating to the
1960s.
The dagger features the marking RZM M7/36, corresponding to the historical manufacturer
E.&F. Hörster, Solingen.
The reproduction follows the general construction principles and proportions of the original examples.
Grip: The grip is made of black plastic material, typical for post-war
collector reproductions of the 1960s.
Its contour is based on the ebony grips found on original SS daggers.
The crossguards are made of white metal and are fitted according to the design.
Blade: The double-edged blade carries the decorative inscription
“In herzlicher Kameradschaft H. Himmler”, known from historical
presentation and honour daggers.
The surface characteristics correspond to the production style typically seen on 1960s reproductions.
Scabbard: The scabbard is covered with genuine leather and fitted with
metal mounts.
Its shape follows the general form of original SS scabbards, including characteristic contours of the
upper and lower fittings.
Historical Context: Post-war Reproductions
Reproductions of the so-called Himmler Honour Daggers began appearing in the 1950s and 1960s
for collectors, museums and exhibition purposes.
These reproductions follow the general appearance and construction style of the historical originals
without the intention of representing an authentic wartime piece.
Such items were frequently produced for display purposes, film and theatre productions, or
private collections.
They reflect the symbolic and visual characteristics of the historical daggers while remaining
clearly identifiable as post-war reproductions.
Today, these reproductions form their own collecting field and are often used as comparative
reference pieces to the far rarer original daggers.
