Killer Early SS Dagger by Boker

German WWII > Edged Weapons > SS Daggers > Early SS Daggers

Certainly the most requested maker of all the SS manufacturers Boker made the best product with the highest quality. Advanced collectors know this and snap 'em up faster than I can find 'em. Stunning full length blade has that dark motto that jumps right out at you. This is one of the desirable attributes of Boker that makes them display so well. Perfect point with no sharpening, no pitting no age, no grey Rates Mint-. The solid nickel fittings are textbook Boker being cast by their in-house operation. If you peek inside you will see that I am right, sorry I do not take this stuff apart. The handle fits up to the guards perfectly. All the angles are correct. Lower crossguard is district marked "I". The grip is a nice heavy Boker with no chips and no cracks. The eagle is a correct nickel version and the runes have 100% of enamel. The scabbard is a exceptional example retaining 100% anodizing and 90%+ of the factory lacquer. There is a wee impression to the lower body. The ball is perfect. The fittings themselves are nickel silver with patina matching the crossguards. It all fits nice. All the screws are intact. Finally as a bonus this one comes with it's own vertical hanger. This hanger is pre-RZM example showing some age and the black in some areas has aged to a brown, this clip is a plated. The hanger shows some verdigris next to the nickel. The hanger is not SS stamped, (many of the early ones are not).. Expensive? Try to find another one this good.
