An Early Model 1933 NSKK Dagger (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps Dienstdolch) by Robert Giersch. The blade on this one has age and spotting. It's been cleaned and the etch is a bit lightened. The acid etched "Alles für Deutschland" motto and "Rob. Giersch Solingen" maker mark are both crisp. The fit remains nice and tight and the tip comes to a perfect point! This blade rates in at an Exc. The undented steel based black period repainted black scabbard looks great. There is normal wear and chips to the finish. The lower fitting has a wee wiggle to it. nothing to be concerned about, it's secure. The screws are intact but turned. The ball is undamaged. The solid nickel scabbard fittings look excellent matching the crossguards in color and patina! All four scabbard screws remain. The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked "Wm" (Westmark). The brown chip and crack-free hardwood grip looks excellent! It shows some wee hits from normal period wear throughout but that's it! The solid nickel eagle retains beautiful details and has a perfect fit. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains 99%+ of its enamel.
