The snap clip is in good condition, with a fine, working spring. The cloverleaf is the closed style, and it too has all of the darkening. The second link on the upper chain is properly stamped with the SS-Kulturzeichen. The reverse links have a black patination, an indication of lots of silver in the construction. All of the tabs that connect the links are secure, with no openings on the reverse. The teeth of the skulls are all there and are leering at the viewer. Each of these links has been pebbled to give the almost-raised look that we like to see on the skull and bones and SS runes. The chain is also very nice having the entire original factory darkening in the backgrounds of the links. This ramp is retained by two screws one on the left outside edge and another on the right-side edge just below the chain attachment. This darkening really makes the intertwined swastika design jump out at the viewer. It’s decorated with three intertwined swastikas. The center ramp is the later style, having the rolled edge, which is not as crisp as the earlier type. These fine mounts are retained by steel dome-head screws that also still have most of their plating. The lower mount ball has never been dropped and is in perfect condition. The scabbard mounts are the nickel-plated-over-a-steel base, with their original factory-bright finish. This lacquer is probably about 90-percent intact. The majority of the original protective lacquer is still present over the anodized surface, with only a few areas that are slightly worn. This shell has a wonderful anodized finish that remains 100-percent intact throughout both sides. The scabbard shell is perfectly straight. It was generally the Waffen-SS officers that wore portepees. It really looks great, and there is hardly any fray and it only shows some minor age. Wrapped about the grip is a fine 42cm portepee.

The grip eagle is the silvered aluminum type and retains full detailing throughout. It is the style button, which is positioned straight up and down. The SS runic button is the style that is slightly convex. It has a very fine black tone to the wood and is very nicely shaped and fits the crossguards perfectly.
This grip is in pretty much perfect condition. The ebony grip is a beauty, having high-ridge construction and no obvious repairs. These SS officers often resided in Ordensburg-type residences such as Bad Tolz, and daggers were often mixed up according to Tom Wittmann and other experts. This is considered perfectly legitimate and acceptable. The matching nickel-plated-steel tang nut is also in fine condition, but the crossguards are of the genuine nickel construction, while the scabbard fittings are nickel plated. The crossguards are in very fine condition, showing only the most minor of signs of age nearly all of the plating is intact throughout. Mid-period Model 1936-Model Chained SS Dagger ( Waffen-SS?) (Item SSDAG 2-1 WAF 13-6)ĭESCRIPTION: This great-looking dagger has nickel-plated fittings.
