M36 SS Officer’s Chained Dagger – Mint Condition

A rare and desirable M36 SS Chained Dagger, with motto and logos intact. The chain is a 'type c' version and nickle plated with machine stamped Kulturzeichen SS approval stamp on reverse. Excellent detail to the skulls and runes. The grip is in superb condition with no splits, cracks or repairs. The crossguards and tang nut are not magnetic suggesting they are nickel. The lower guard is Gau marked which is unusual however as the war progressed and resources became limited, surplus parts were used to complete later production pieces. The SS runes button is in excellent condition with all of the enamel. The grip eagle is zinc and retains lots of detail. The blade is in uncleaned and in mint condition with full burnishing to the motto: 'Meine Ehre heißt Treue' (My Honour Is Loyality). It has full crossgrain along the blade from hilt to tip. There is no maker mark on the rear of the blade which is correct for the chained variants. A superb and increasingly rare to find pice that is sure to only increase in value over the years.  New to the collecting market having come from a recent group of items discovered by a family who little is known about apart from he served as a Doctor with the Algermeine SS.
