SS CHAINED LEADERS DAGGER, 1936 MODEL.
This is a mid production example dating to about 1938 or just after and it has type 2 chains. All hilt fittings are the plated type but still retain a good percentage of silver plating. The fine quality black ebony grip is inset with the SS runic badge and silver eagle, there is a small chip to the bottom of the grip close to the crossguard and there is also a small crack in the same area, but it is not a major problem and this is still a very nice looking grip. The blade features the SS motto to the obvers side and it is plain to the reverse side with out a makers name which is correct for the chained dagger model, the blade is bright but there is some spotting and age to the blade. Anodised scabbard is in very nice condition and it is fitted with matching plated fittings which perfectly match the hilt fittings, the ball to the lower fitting has a very slight dent as they often do. Complete with 2nd type chains featuring links decorated with SS runes and SS skulls, the reverse side of one of the links is stamped with the SS runic acceptance mark (Kulturzeichen), the clip is in good working order. A nice example of an SS chained leaders dagger and priced very realistically as the last couple of SS chained daggers which I have sold were priced considerably more than this example so this one is extremely good value, especially as SS daggers are very high in demand at the moment.
