Description
An extremely rare, well-preserved SS Model 1933 Service Dagger with acid-etched moto on the obverse side of blade inscribed with “MEINE EHRE HEIßT TREUE” (“MY HONOR IS LOYALTY”). The reverse ricasso bears a maker’s mark of “GOTTLIEB HAMMESFAHR, SOLINGEN-FOCHE”. The blade has some normal runner marks and tiny pitting on reverse side, but overall is in EXC++ condition and the tip remains intact. The crossguard fittings are nickel and bear the “P & A” symbols inside the crossguards with the lower crossguard bearing the Roman numeral “II” stamped on the reverse side (Dresden district). The grip is composed of a single piece of black lacquered wood. The silvered German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika and the SS rune are properly inset in grip. The anodized scabbard shows normal wear due to age and has the nickel-silver upper and lower fittings and all four screws. Complete with portepee in MINT condition.
