The Remagen Schutzen medal with the eagle on top of the metal bar as seen in the photo of the 1922 Konigs Schutzenkette (Kings shooting chain) is dated 1892 and is still attached to the Remagen Konigs Schutzenkette as seen in the 2018 and 2019-2021, Schützenkönige der Gesellschaft.

And that is why it looks like the top of the "Konig Schutzen 1887 Remagen" medal, there is only 5 years between my 1887 medal and the 1892 medal. If you click on the image of the Remagen Schutzen Konig of 2019-2021, look for the icon at the top middle to zoom and then drag image and you can see the 1892 date on the medal.

What I see here is an original M36 SS-dagger with B2-type chain. The US books call it type 2.
The blade is somehow the disappointing part in my opinion, being sharpened and buffed.

One thing that you need to check is the blade to guards fit, which is not shown in your pictures.

Thank you for suggesting!

Thanks for posting, Gaspare. That's a good price for those three rings. I have that same Westwall Helmet pattern; it's a big brute. I would not sell it for less than 300 Euros

well, thats good news Ric... Inner band will shed some light for you. Should be perfect!

Here it is, I knew there was a gold one somewhere.

Reverse marked as you said Joe, to Frederick Mannheim, Kaiserlautern. I've lightened the close up reverse shot to show the mark better.

As I mentioned earlier, I once spotted a bronze grade but was beaten to it.... The leaf on those matches the colour of the Lyre. If your silver ever needs a new home Joe, just let me know, it will always be welcome this side of the pond....

Does a list of SS Helmet makers and lot numbers exist? If so where? Thanks Dutchman.

Thanks Gaspare,I hope some one will shed some light on these? The both are UV neg.Dutchman.

This is a copy without options.

A boost to the top.

that's great - thank you !

Thought to tack on this thread of SA tinnies.

Gravity knives and HJ look interesting , any idea of price on take down Gravity ?

Gary noted "the blade looks to have been reground" he is correct.

It would appear that this knife had at one time some rust and light surface pitting, and someone removed the rust with a fine belt grinder.

Then someone using a medium-course belt grinder tried to sharpen the blade. The result is a collector's nightmare with deep scratches that go over the center ridge line.

Tiny pitting marks are still evident on the top of the blade.

The pictures of the knife for sale were not very clear but I could tell it was messed with. I still put in a bid over $600.00 to win this rare knife.

And Ed, keep looking and maybe someday you will find a nicer F. Dula, and your wish will come true.

This E. & F. Horster was my first Schutzen-Hirschfanger. In the scabbard it is 25 inches in length, 24- and one-half inches overall with blade about 19 inches and three eights in length.

This example must have been the least expensive model. The blade is etched with military motifs on both sides.

The maker's mark was possibly registered in 1914 and was probably used until about 1932.

See German knife and Sword makers, 1850-1945 by J. Anthony Carter, pages 290 to 292.

I have seen a WWI Grabendolch with this maker's mark, but this maker's mark is usually known as the 1920's mark.

I paid about $310.00 with shipping on Sep. 2, 2020. From eBay.
