SOLD Original German Early NSDAP (NAZI PARTY) M-33 SS Dagger Brought Home By A U.S. Veteran Certified.This fine early example was produced by a very rare maker: Gottlieb Hammesfahr & Co. AG, Nirosta-Werk, Stahlwarenfabrik und Gesenkschmiederei (Stainless Steel Factory, Steel goods factory and drop forge), in the Foche area of Solingen. This is a known producer of SS daggers during the Pre-WWII period and after. The rear of the dagger is marked with their trademark logo: GOTTLIEB HAMMESFAHR (CROSS ON PYRAMID LOGO) SOLINGEN FOCHE Founded in 1804 and registered with the Solingen chamber of commerce in 1875, this company is one of the largest and longest-established edged weapon producers in Solingen. While this company was known primarily as a drop forge, it also made knives and tools during the WWII period. They had several brand names, including PYRAMIDE, which had a logo of a Pyramid with a cross on it. The "oval" style trademark was specifically used on the blades of the earliest SS and SA daggers made during the Third Reich, per J. Anthony Carter's work GERMAN KNIFE AND SWORD MAKERS.  The blade remains mostly bright and still retains almost all of the factory cross grain, though there are small age spots and traces of past oxidation. The blade also has some light runner marks, but still is one of the best we've seen. This blade still grades in very good condition. The SS motto, Meine Ehre heißt Treue (Loyalty is my Honor) is crisp with little wear. About 90% of the factory blackening is in the letter fonts in the backgrounds. The edge of the blade does not show any non factory sharpening, and is still in great condition, with no nicks or major dents. The blade shoulders perfectly meet the lower crossguard contour, and is solid in the grip. The crossguards of this dagger and tang nut are in good condition throughout, and are of the earliest solid nickel silver construction. They have smooth surfaces, good crisp edges and precise accent grooves. They have an overall greenish patina, typical of aged nickel, except where the scabbard throat protected, which is shiny. The upper guard is marked with a Roman numeral III, for the third SS district. There is no lifting of the finish, showing these are indeed solid nickel silver.  The ebony grip is a nice example showing in very good shape except for a few hairline cracks near the cross guard and pommel, as well as some small dents. Early examples such as this were hand fit, which could result in cracking over time. The color is very good, and wood grain can be seen. The runes button is positioned at about 7:00 o'clock, as it should be. The silvered SS runes and double circles around them have a nice matching patina with the nickel still intact, with a little verdigris. There is however some chipping in the enamel. The nickel grip eagle is the "high-necked" type with the beak pointing slightly up. It remains in crisp condition, showing little wear to the bird's head, breast and wing feathering and to the talons, wreath or swastika. The scabbard shell is a solid example being straight as an arrow with a few small dents. It was originally anodized black steel, but that was at some point long ago painted over with black enamel, which is now full of checking and crazing, giving it a lovely aged look. The matching solid nickel silver scabbard mounts are in good condition. The lower ball has been crushed slightly and is split, due to the weaker nickel alloy used in early models (later ones used steel). An excellent chance to own a very good condition early SS dagger by a very rare Solingen blade maker!  Nice used example untouched and uncleaned showing the expected storage and age and wear. 100% Guaranteed to be authentic Brought home by a U.S. solider as a trophy of war.  Complete museum documentation (COA) Provided. Certified by The Gettysburg Museum of History. The Gettysburg Museum of History does not support or condone Adolf Hitler or the Nazi Party and is only offering this as a historic relic.
