ITALIAN MVSN 1925 MODEL OFFICERS DAGGER.
This is a very rare example of the Italian Fascist 1925 model poniard dagger and was the first dagger adopted by the Italian Fascist government, some parts of these rare daggers were produced in 1925 by using left over parts of Italian bayonets, an early version of recycling. Steel hilt still retaining much original silver plating showing wear on the high points.The black wooden grip plates are in fine condition and both sides are inset with the Italian Fascist insignia.The blade on this model dagger is blued cruciform steel and almost certainly they used up old bayonet blades to produce these.The crossguard is stamped on the reverse side MVSN and on the reverse side with issue number A773. The scabbard is in nice condition and again it is almost certainly constructed from an Italian bayonet scabbard with two scabbard bands and belt loop added at the factory. A very interesting dagger, it has been some years since i have had one to offer for sale as they seldom come available and especially in nice condition. [Condition: Exc++]
ALLGEMEINE SS NCO BLACK PEAKED CAP.
This is a superb looking hat with full SS markings to the inside. Black woolen ribbed top with matching black centre band with white piping. Complete with metal SS eagle and skull and both still retain much original silver frosted finish, SS style black leather chin strap which is held in place by two black side buttons. The interior of the hat features the standard rust brown lining with celluloid patch which is 95% complete and it features the gold SS runes in a circle and also the size stamping 54. The brown sweat band is in perfect condition and there is an SS Tuchmutze label to the underside. The underside of the peak is stamped with the SS runes acceptance mark. The cap is in fine condition and displays beautifully but there was in the past a small split or perhaps moth nip to the underside of the hat on the left hand side which has been carefully repaired in the past, it is very minor and it is not really noticeable until pointed out especially as it is on the side of the hat, I have priced the cap at considerably less than I normally sell them for because of this. The Black SS cap is one of the most iconic symbols of Third Reich and no collection is really complete with out at last one example.[Condition: Exc++]

SA DAGGER BROWN LEATHER FROG HANGER.
This is an extremely rare RZM marked vertical frog hanger for for the SA 1933 model dagger. This style of frog hanger is believed to have been worn by the elite SA Regiment Feldherrnhalle, but they were probably also worn by other SA units, this type of hanger is also shown in several of the reference books. The grip securing strap is still in perfect condition and the button still functions, these straps are often broken so it is extremely nice to find a hanger with it still in place. The reverse side is stamped, RZM L2/441/38 (1938 being the year of manufacture). I have not cleaned the hanger but a little bit of brown leather polish will make the hanger near mint condition. A very difficult hanger to find and a great opportunity to make your SA dagger into something very special and highly desirable. [Condition: Exc++]

This is one of the very desirable silver luncheon knifes from Adolf Hitlers personal silver service as used at the Reich Chancellery in Berlin and also his residence the Berghoff in Bavaria.This is the more decorative and also desirable formal pattern with Greek key border, closed wing eagle and letters A H, it was produced by the silver smith Bruckmann and was in use from 1938 until 1945. Total length 21cm which is slightly smaller than the dinner knife pattern which I also have in stock but is slightly more expensive.
