Type II Chained SS Dagger

Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.

I always hear guys saying that they would eventually like to get one of these, well wait no further now's your chance! The blade on this one looks great! The dark and crisp acid etched "Meine Ehre heißt Treue" motto is beautifully executed and contrasts the bright blade quite nicely! The crossgrain is easily visible for hilt to tip as you shine it in the light. The tip comes to a perfect point and it continues to hold a nice and tight fit! There is no maker mark and this is exactly how they were issued from the factory. The blade rates an Exc+/Exc++. It shows the common age grey/spotting and surface scratches throughout along with a small wave towards the tip. The steel based black enamel painted scabbard body on this one looks great. It shows the commonly seen paint chips due to the chain along with spidering throughout. It continues to remain completely dent free and hold 85%+ paint coverage. The solid nickel-silver scabbard fittings look excellent! The ball has several bruises and all five screws remain intact. The chain is the earlier Type II variation that is nickel-silver based and black burnished. The chain links show wonderful detail to the sculls and SS runes! It's really something when you can see each individual teeth to the skulls! The correct first upper link is clearly "SS" proof marked. The clip and wotan's knot are slightly bent (only a few millimeters). The clip continues to work well. There is one connector link that is a replacement (see the last picture). I got it this way so I can't confirm when it was done but it's very likely a period job, the connectors on these type II daggers are the weakest link and frequently failed. The scabbard to crossguard fit is near perfect. The nickel-silver based crossguards are in excellent shape as well matching the scabbard fittings in color and patina. The black hardwood grip is in excellent condition, and is better than most! There no cracks or chips just a few broken flakes to the reverse tops! It is really an excellent grip. The solid nickel-silver eagle is beautifully detailed and has a perfect fit. The SS roundel retains 99%+ of its enamel and also has a perfect fit! This is a great piece that I am sure you will be happy to have in your collection! A highly desired piece among the collecting community!
