A German Second War S.S. Model 36 Chained Officers Dagger.
A very nice example, the blade with all of its cross grain finish remaining, the only marks being from the inner scabbard blade retaining brass bands. The upper grip mount would appear to be of a later plated type with the lower grip mount in early nickel, however we do not believe this to be a made up piece. All of the scabbard fittings in bright nickel plate. The paint to the scabbard is totally original and undamaged. All plating to the type 2 chains complete with their standard intertwined SS runes within an octangle on the reverse side of one of the SS runic links. Sprung loaded clip working correctly and complete with a silver portapee knot, which would appear to have been with the dagger for many years, they commonly react against the ebony wood and form a light grey shade underneath, overall very good condition £2,000-£2,400
