The SS Chained Dagger is a late example, model 1936. The dagger is in EXC+ condition throughout.

Grip: The dagger has excellent nickel-plated cross guards. The matching, nickel-plated tang nut is in good condition. The ebony grip is a fine, having sharp contour ridges. The SS runes and the grip eagle is the nickel type. All details are visible to the bird's head, breast and wing feathering, talons, wreath and swastika.

Blade: The unmarked blade is a nice example. There are some minor scratches and some normal in and out markings, but basically, this blade is in MINT condition. The SS motto Meine Ehre heißt Treue «My honor is loyalty» is deep and crisp.

Scabbard: The scabbard is straight as an arrow. 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.
