SS Service Dagger M33 Maker Marked RZM M7/80 - 1197/38/SS Gustav C. Spitzer -Solingen (Near Mint Blade!)

Item: This ceremonial weapon was introduced in December 1933 and had already become a tradition in the Army, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine. During a ceremonial ceremony marking the final admission as an SS-Mann into the Allgemeine-SS, SS-Totenkopfverbände, or SS-Verfügungstruppe/Waffen-SS, the SS dagger was presented every 9th of November.

SS applicants (Staffel-Bewerber, Staffel-Junker, Staffel-Anwärter, or Staffel-Vollanwärter) were not authorized to wear the SS dagger. The SS dagger was considered a personal weapon for all members of the SS when wearing the ceremonial SS uniform.

Condition: The blade is in near mint condition, showing only light signs of use. The obverse is correctly etched with the SS motto: “Meine Ehre heißt Treue!”. The reverse bears the recognizable late RZM logo with the marking M7/80 1197/38/SS.

The wooden grip is made of ebony and is fitted with the correct late aluminium Hoheitsadler and enamel SS roundel, both in undamaged condition. The original grip shows signs of use typical for the fragile ebony wood.

All four screws are present. The crossguard fits neatly against the scabbard throat.

A beautiful original textbook SS dagger, featuring a stunning blade.
