This is a rare dagger that is very tough to buy. Reproductions abound! Here's a super blade that is about as good as you will ever find. Blade grades NM. The maker mark RZM 7/36 nice and dark as it the motto. Original brown buffer pad is intact. The fittings are all silver washed and do show honest wear with just a few bubbles of plating lifting. The crossguard quillons are slightly upswept with the proper rope design and burnished to the backgrounds. A single headless brad secures the pommel which in turn secures the original tight wire wrap. Love that pommel cap top, 100% right and textbook. Scabbard has original dark blue leather that is 100% intact. There are some pressure marks as one expects to see. There are no dents to the body. Reverse screw is properly placed, The top fitting is embossed with the HJ eagle clutching a sword and hammer in it's talons. This has the correct details. Included is a very interesting hanger. It is really nicely RZM marked to include the leather, neat top see the three armed swas, (Ewald Lüneschloss, Solingen). there. Here is a chance to get into a textbook example. A very nice leader piece that has never been messed with.
