Type II - Chained M36 SS Officers Dagger
M36 Type II - Schutzstaffel Kettendolch für Offiziere. The blade on this one is beautiful! The crisp acid etched “Meine Ehre heißt Treue” motto is crimson red! A very interesting feature… what stained the color? Who knows, but that’s the way I got it and I’m leaving it that way. The crossgrain is easily visible all the way from the hilt to tip. 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 Mint-. There is the common surface scratches/runner marks and one wee spot. The steel based black painted scabbard body on this one looks great! It shows the common hits from the chain yet continues to remain completely dent free. It continues to hold 85%+ paint coverage. The solid nickel-silver scabbard fittings look excellent. They have the odd bump on them. The ball retains a nice round shape. All five screws remain intact. The chain is the most desirable type being the early Type II variation that is solid nickel-silver with black burnished backgrounds. The chain links show wonderful detail to the skulls and SS runes. The correct first upper link reverse is clearly “SS” proof marked. The wootans-knot clip continues to work well. The nickel-silver based crossguards are in excellent shape. The black hardwood grip is in great condition. It has some flake chips and pressure marks throughout. 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. Overall, this is a very desirable piece with a unique feature.
