Really messed up SA
sdp replied to Danny70's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
I fully understand just wanting to own a dagger... it's the start of the, "addiction", we all have. All of us must start somewhere, whatever our budget limits us to. The most important thing is to learn and do as much research as possible and not get caught out buying a fake, (which you haven't done). Okay, so this one's not in the best of condition but at least it's real and a genuine part of history. From here, you will either trade up and most likely, add on to. Nothing here to be ashamed of or make excuses for... enjoy what you have. -

He bought a dagger off me once and we became, "internet friends". He will be missed. -
new to this need help
sdp replied to lowandheavy's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Eagle may have been replaced, it looks like it's aluminium, where it should be nickel silver. Closer, clearer photos would be good but the rest of the dagger seems to be okay... -

SS dagger blade
sdp replied to Rattle's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
If it was complete and the whole dagger was in the region of E++ condition, it would be worth, "around", USD$16,000.00. I wouldn't want to take a guess as to how much your blade would be worth to someone... -
SS Dagger (Numbers)
sdp replied to suntzu53's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
1241 is the SS code, 39 is the year of manufacture. http://www.germandressdaggers.com/Maker%20marks.htm The list is incomplete and doesn't show who the maker is for 1241. However, on the GDC forum, 1241 has been credited to Eickelnberg & Mack without much dispute, (not that it's conclusive though), so there's a chance that it doesn't match. You will find that not many collector's of SS daggers have seen this marking before, so you may want to be a little cautious if you're thinking of purchasing a dagger with this code. My 2 cents worth...
