Hey Guys, Is RZM 941/40/ss a legit maker mark for an M33 dagger? I saw one, and when doing a search here could not seem to find one. I know its an Eickhorn mark, but its the '40'. Opinions?

Lar... can you post some pictures?

No need to post picture - it is a good trademark.

Hope this helps,
Dave

Is that the one on gunbroker.com? Dave, Is that particular piece real?

Post a link and I will give it a guess.

Alittle rough but looks ok to me.

I agree - rough but real.

I see all these 941 Eickhorn blades with the date so would 941/37 also be a good blade? Thank You.SSman

I like that District number " 1 " stamp on the front of the lower cross.

Somebody's had the crossguard off and put it back the wrong way.

Yes 941/37 is good too. The 941/37 should also carry the Squirrel TM as well.

Here is the line-up for 941 code with or without the squirrel - The squirrel holding up the sword - not the "rat" version or the double oval version.

36 - No Squirrel
37 - Both with and without Squirrel
38 - Yes
39 - Not regular squirrel.
40 - No

Dave

Dave. Thanks for the heads up on the 941/37. You state that they came with or without the varmint! One said it should have the squirrel. So I will go with the with or without because mine is without.

Lar, I do not think this is a true RZM Dagger.It looks to be a early dagger & scabbard with a RZM BLADE.

Tom Wittmann book shows no District stamp mark on any RZM ss dagger.

Sorry but I've an original 39 with Squirrel

and here we have the rounded "3" wich eickhorn pieces had the flat 3???

You are right, although that one is usually called "the rat" rather than a squirrel. I have seen a few of these and the fonts are not the same as the others. Here is a pic of the best conditioned one I have seen.

have alook on this thread

When I first wrote that list, I was referring the 941 codes with the squirrel holding the sword, not those with the double oval or the Rat.

I have added comments to clarify this. Sorry for the confusion.

Dave

PS - Not all collectors accept the Rat or the ones with the double ovals. Also some think that the '36 with the double oval underneath are re-worked Rohm dagger blades that were not used in 1934.
