A rare maker, straight from the Veterans Family! Most don’t know this and finding this maker with this configuration (solid nickel guards, a steel pommel nut and a painted scabbard with plated fittings) is frequently encountered with this maker. A Model 1933 Schutzstaffel Dienstdolch by RZM 285/38 SS. The blade on this one looks ok. The acid etched “Meine Ehre Heißt Treue” motto and “RZM 285/38 SS” SS contract number are both nicely executed. The tip comes to a perfect point and the fit sits perfectly up against the hilt. Traces of crossgrain remains visible. The blade rates an Exc+. It shows age grey and spotting throughout along with the common surface scratches/runner marks and there is a slight wave towards the tip. The steel based black painted scabbard body looks great. It has minor bubbling and some spotting throughout. There is one wee pressure mark to the back and its hardly noticeable. The steel based plated nickel-silver scabbard fittings look great. Minor bubbling. The ball has a small split. All four screws remain intact. The solid nickel-silver crossguards look excellent! The grip is black died hardwood. It has several cracks and chips. The solid nickel-silver eagle is nicely detailed and has a perfect fit. The SS roundel retains 95% of its enamel and has a perfect fit! A very rare and unique piece.
