Early RZM M7/29 SS Dagger with !

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

Here's a rare SS dagger which is prized among the collecting community! The bright blade on this one looks great! The acid etched "RZM M7/29" maker mark and "Meine Ehre heisst Treue!" (with the exclamation point "!") motto are both beautifully executed! The crossgrain looks stunning! The tip comes to a perfect point and the blade / crossguard fit is perfect. The blade rates Exc++. I believe it has been cleaned at some point in its life as there is some surface scratching throughout. The black painted scabbard looks great! It continues to retain 98% of its paint and remains completely dent free! The solid nickel scabbard fittings look excellent. This is exactly how these things were issued, painted scabbards with nickel fittings. All four screws remain intact! The ball has one hit to the bottom. The scabbard / crossguard fit is perfect and closes with a snap! The solid nickel crossguards look great, matching the scabbard fitting in color and wear! The black hardwood grip looks excellent! It has the common pressure mark and minor flaking, but that's it. It is honestly better than most. As you know finding a flawless SS grip is really hard to come by. The solid nickel eagle is beautifully detailed with a perfect fit. The SS roundel retains 97% of its enamel, has a nice bright shine as it sits perfectly in the grip. There is some talk about these pieces being attributed to a special SS unit or for presentation, although nothing is for sure. A rare, prized piece right in front of you, don't miss your chance!
