Lets see a little black!

I will start
PVON

I only have three SS Daggers.

All Eickhorns, of course!

First up is a the large double oval smooth tailed squirrel over CE TMed one.

2nd up is the 941/39 SS Rat Tail squirrel TMed one. This one I bought in Paul's room at an SOS a couple of years back.

The last one is a full Rohm numbered 3681 and researched.

PVON

This forum is known for collectors having great SS daggers
and I hope this week they share their treasures!

You can post related stuff that makes nice display!

an amazing thread....

congrats

Great stuff,guys

Gerd

I collect photos of them in wear as I journey through the SS microfilm records in the National Archives. SS daggers being worn in formal portraits are not as common as you might think. They can also be particularly difficult to see on the microfilm in light of the German photographers' penchant to pose Allgemeine-SS men against a dark background. And it is hard to find them not grasping the handle.

Enjoy!

The Guys

Thanks Kreta Nice!

Dave

Appears to be some beautys! But looks like Stevie Wonder took this blurry pic!

Here is my baby

Paul,

That pic is 6-8 years old at least. Digital cameras are a lot better today as are the re-sizing programs. But, you probably get the idea

Dave

PS I really do appreciate the effort you have taken to post pictures of various items Many thanks

I had been looking for a numbered M36 that I could research and picked this one up at last year’s SOS. It was brought in by a picker years ago to a show in the Midwest. The dagger has an unmarked blade, all nickel fittings, Type II nickel chain and painted scabbard. It is numbered 111 920 on the underside of the lower cross guard, blade, and scabbard throat. Doesn’t look like it has ever been cleaned or taken apart. Have to admit that I’d really like it even if it was not numbered.

Enjoy!

I particularly like how the paint on the back of the scabbard is worn from rubbing on his coat.

Adolf Hellinger, SS No. 111 920 joined the SS in April 1933 and was soon placed in an administrative position. He income of 200+ R.M. certainly enabled him to purchase a complete M1936 chained dagger without updating his M1933 dienstdolch. In 1942 Hellinger joined the Waffen-SS and served in the SS-Polizei Grenadier Division from July 1943 until the end of the war. He was awarded the KVK II mit Schwertern in 1944.

My experience has been that M36's that are numbered are less common than M33's and certainly the Röhm SS-Ehrendolches and those that are identifiable even more so.

Enjoy!

A nice chained Ross,with a rare motto type.

Gerd

Ross... never seen a Type II skull link that looked quite like yours. It looks more like a Type III than a Type II.

Now that is what is rarely seen, a numbered chained SS dagger with the owner identified. Stunning piece all by itself. Congrats Ross !

Serge

Here is another RZM from my collection,RZM 1053. The tang is double marked!

Gerd

So many wonderful looking daggers have been shown by you collectors!

Thanks for showing and lets see some more!

Some more beautys!

A few SS daggers I had pics of I don't remember where I got from! The Himmler!

But visors I had many! And am showing a beauty but hard to see SS officer visor with a army eagle on it! Came with a Reichsfurung officer cuff title!

My dad got it for me with a box of stuff for $600.00

Those were the days! Missed the uniform! Guy sold it at a beer joint befor my dad got to it!

As I think back on that Himmler it my be JR's I bought a few SS daggers off him years ago!

He might have sent some pics of items for sale back then!

The reason I believe now it could be his is the sharp detail pics of Himmler and Rohm daggers!

I was hoping he would add some pics to this thread but he is a big shot dealer now!

Hard to get him to add anymore!

Maybe Gary has something to show!

How about JR's son! Its got to be in his blood! Show us some SS daggers little JR! Chris I believe!

Maybe you would like to add some thought so us collectors could learn a little about you!

What do you like!


Come on JR lets see some SS !

Here is the pic of JR, Son, Gary! At SOS this past year!

OK I had my fun so lets hope the Meda team steps up!

PVON

Some fine daggers with dedication!

Gerd

Sometimes it's too hard to resist black beauty...

Best regards,

Herman

Thanks for showing Herman! Some real lookers!

PVON

OK here's my two a Boker and an RZM 1196/38 unknown maker

Ed and Hermann,wonderful!

Gerd

Ed

Thanks

PVON

Thanks Pvon my daggers were bought 10+ yrs ago so the pickens were better than. I just found a new resizing at ResizeMyPicture.com free n works fast.I used it for the pictures shown,resizing was one of the reasons for not showing photos

Ed

Your right on some fine SS daggers and for that matter other daggers being around in that time frame!

The choice ones were easier then but notall!

Thanks for showing!

PVON

Lets add something black!
Collectors dream!

Any one have SS armbands? SS tinnies,pics,medals
or related items? Please show them!

How about SS chained daggers?

I just posted a few pics of one!

Any one want to show type 1 or 2 or 3!

Would love to learn more!

Nickel,plated, early and late!

I know some of you have great knowledge and superb examples!

PVON

I have a couple of SS cuff titles and such.

Mostly Norwegian-German connected.

John

Thanks for sharing John!

My knowledge is very limited on Norwegian SS connected
items!

Can't be very easy to find!

PVON

Wow,great stuff John

Gerd

Not only do I research them, but I am also a collector. This M33 SS Böker dagger came into the Max Show a couple of years ago and ended up in the possession of Wolf-Hardin/Joe Pankowski who contracted me to do the research which I completed. It later turned up in a Gottlieb auction without the research and I was pleased to purchase it though the bidding was spirited. SS daggers with the “Fürth“ etching are rare and very few are identifiable to a specific SS Mann. SS-Hauptscharführer Hans Haubner, SS No. 47 125 attended the Fürth school during the summer of 1934. What I particular liked about this one is that his stammkarte recorded his attendance there making the only other one I know of that is so documented. See it at: http://phpstack-500133-1583587.cloudwaysapps.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=279968&page=1

In 1942, Haubner was promoted to Hauptsturmführer and was assigned in 1943 to the 14. SS-Freiwilligen Division “Galician” initially made up of Ukrainian volunteers. In August 1944 he was killed in a partisan attack while being transported on a train in Slovakia. Haubner is buried in Block 5 among the unknown soldiers in Vazec, Slovakia, since his remains could not be positively identified for an individually marked grave. Though no photo of him as yet been located, I like 'em like this.

Enjoy!

PVON

Gerd

Pic

small SS figure!

Some Black!

The above photo was from the great Bob Colemans collection!

I used to post his photos and he shared so much!

But that was long ago!

You don't see this stuff!

PVON

Any one care to show the black stuff?

This was the kind of stuff shared in the old days!


Dave

Get a camera and snap some photo's! 8 yrs ago you took pics and they were blurry!

Your the big dog and moderator of the black stuff!

You are blocking the hottest forum section because you won't
get a camera!

Can't just say junk on the czech stuff!

Or get some help from the many collectors that can snap a picture and lets get this rolling!

Kick the other moderators in the tush and give them fresh help!

So many good collectors to share collections and pics and generate topics!

The old school boys don't care! Give them a retirement watch
if they don't want to do this!

I don't care if they are the biggest and greatest since sliced bread!

If they don't post then who cares!

I would rather have a guy or guys with a desire to jumpstart this forum!

Vern

I hope you read this also!

Just my thoughts!

PVON

Pvon!

Thanks!

Got a camera!

Dave

Will be showing some black!

Ryan Sellick has been kind to answer my call in sending me pics
I asked for to share with members!

Will place a few here and then to proper sections!

Some really fine stuff has been shown already and have recieved a very lukewarm response!

I have no problem posting it in the other forum but at 1 time we had members that craved the good stuff!

PVON

PVON

Barry,

Gerd

Just a taste!

Going to post in headgear and uniform section some fine Waffen SS visors that Ryan Sellick has shared with members!

I have never had Waffen SS visors just black ones!

They are to be sure very desirable and hard to find!

Just choice stuff! Not 1 but 2! Can you believe it!!!!!!

PVON

Ok, something black...

M33 by KLAAS, early saber by WKC, Degen early unmarked, 40ties type ring, bronze BKA, M36 early all nickle silver unmarked.

Regards,

Just a note the ring pictured is the example belonging to Maus, not the worn example...my mistake...the gloves are Waffen SS officer gloves, still with original RZM tag and nicely SS stamped inside...outstanding...only pair I ever saw or owned....cheers and thanks to Paul for taking the time to post on a Sunday, Ryan

Wow,that's a pretty rare beast! I would steal for it

Wow! What a beauty! The handle, motto and blade are incredible! The lacquer on the scabbard looks like 99%.
