Type II - Chained SS Dagger

German WWII > Edged Weapons > SS Daggers > Type II Chained SS Dagger

M36 Type I (B2) - Schutzstaffel Kettendolch für Offiziere. One of the top chained pieces I've ever been able to offer. Visually stunning and in wonderful condition. The blade on this one is in wonderful condition. The crisp acid etched “Meine Ehre heißt Treue” motto is beautifully executed! 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 NM. It shows the slightest spotting throughout. The steel based black anodized scabbard body on this one looks wonderful! It continues to remain completely dent free and holds a nice and dark finish. The ball remains perfectly round. All six screws remain intact. The chain is the Type II variation that beautifully burnished as you would expect. The chain links show wonderful detail to the skulls and SS runes! It's really something when you look at the skull and you can see right down to each individual tooth! The correct first upper link reverse is clearly “SS” proof marked. The clip continues to work well. The scabbard to crossguard fit is perfect and closes with a snap. The crossguards are in excellent shape perfectly matching the scabbard fittings in color and patina. The black hardwood grip is in excellent condition! The odd pressure mark but that’s it. The grip to crossguard fits are perfect! 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 one comes with a officer knot and belt loop. This is the most desirable chained SS dagger configuration and is in incredible condition. One of the best in the world…
