UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SS Dagger Forum new made storage box

hello gents, been awhile since I visited the site. I just "made" this box for an SS dagger. not great but, not bad.
hard to find the right type of box to convert over. ussually not long enough . this was a card board made box , I'm guessing for displaying silver chains. it works. I just added a "form" then, covered with velvet. then painted the top. I have been making "gun boxes" for a bit. same logic.
I'd like to make more but, the right box is difficult to find in my travels. any comments reguarding what you see? = just in case I make more. thanks , jeff

Nice home for dagger! I have one similar from 70s. Only on the top are SS runes and not eagle.

Lukas.

nice!
may be next time you should use the right eagle:
five rows of feathers
facing to the left

Very nice, especially the form-fitting part. How did you apply the eagle?

a really wonderfull job !!!!

Thats pretty neat

Very nice work

Very Nice display or presentation case

thank you gentlemen . Rakra this is a correct eagle. not what was typically used as you point out. art work for it was copied from an original bullion patch but, super sized for this. I believe the original eagle was for a dress cape. looks better than the typical type in my opinion. thought of using the eagle for the gorget ..... I painted it on ,with a "silver" paint ,then added the black details.
The original cases / boxes were "only" for the honor daggers ,or presentation pieces. they don't have any logos on them. so with that, I could play around with this one.
I currently own 42 SS daggers, mostly with the SS codes. AND no ,I have never had to pay a lot for any of them.
I made an SS ring box awhile back .= wood ,6 sided ,& black of course.
if I can find the photos of that ,I will post them (different section of forum).
thanks again on the comments; one needs encouragement to continue making stuff like this. jeff.

Jeff..VERY nice craftsmanship! The interior looks French Fitted?

The Eagle..correct or not I can't say but so well done! You say it was applied then the lines drawn in? That's amazing.

For your boxes..there are many sources for boxes..Companies that sell basic box types. I am sure a Google search might provide some sources.

That eagle is really something! It looks like it was painted with a stencil.

This one?
but still facing left

yes ralf , a cape eagle. just like this one....... this is why I chose it. jeff

Hi Jeff nice job just wondering if amongst your substantial haul of SS daggers if you have a RZM 7/72 1942 one

AJ , I don't believe I have that one. do not recall any of my SS being as late as 1942. have 2 SA s of 42, different topic.
thanks for liking this case. need to find 1 case/ box that is proper , then find some one in china to reproduce them. then I could rework the insides to take any third reich dagger, that fits. just a dream.... jeff

another one one Craig's site, just for sell at the moment
also looking over the left wing

ralf, you just won't let it go.....(ha ,ha). did not realize these were going for that type of money.
am I wrong but, was there an early regulation about which way the head faces ... military verses political,verses civilian eagle ? might not been followed or enforced ? jeff

Left face ,right face it sounds like a military drill, the guy did a great job making the box and that's what he's asking about.Nice job.IMO
