Gentlemen, I wasn't really looking for another SS EM but when I saw this one, I just couldn't say NO, as it is the nicest one that I have ever held into my hands. The blade is stone mint and the scabbard has 99% full lacquer still present. With a bit of luck, they are still out there !

Thank you guys ! This dagger was first found by our friend Craig and it is now residing in the Great White North. Here's a close up pic under an artificial light, so you can better appreciate the perfect crossgrain.

Hi Pat congrats. I saw it on Craig's site and knew at the asking price that it wouldn't last long. I was right. cheers, Ryan

Thanks Ryan but this is not the same dagger as the one being showned on Craig's web page. This dagger was never up for sell and it was a "private" purchase done through Craig.

That dagger is wonderfully preserved! Congratulations, Pat! Looks like Mr Gottlieb has bought a whole bunch of close to perfect SS daggers: a 33 EM's, a ground R�hm (both Herder's!), a chained 36, a full R�hm, a Himmler... maybe other members have bought more not listed pieces recently? Must have been an advanced and known collection that he acquired, does anyone knows who's collection that was? Best regards, Herman
You never have enough HJ-knifes!

Herder made very fine daggers & that one is no exception. A nice score indeed!

Aaaah, baloney. Its a beater and needs restoration. I could find all kinds of problems under a 100 power microscope. Pat: Great catch.

Gunther, Good daggers are like great wine, they get better with time. By the time I get old, it will have plenty of patina and I will have the pleasure to see it aged .
