I've seen a couple unmarked blades on Heer daggers on another site. Doesn't this mean that the daggers were "unissued" as there are no maker marks? Or even possibly post-war blades? Prices were in the $600.00 range. The blades look nice and clean, but wouldn't these be automatically worth less money than one with a maker mark?

Certainly many period blades are unmarked - Why? - Well some of the theories are sold at a uniform shop – made by a small cottage maker – Late War. IMO they are worth less why buy an unmarked when you can buy a marked with more history and interest.

Non maker-marked daggers can easily be $ 200 cheaper than maker-marked daggers in the same condition. When compared to the early daggers the price difference will be even bigger.

Unmarked edges are formed to rationalization of production, as well as generic crossguard, and other parts of the dagger.
Fewer types of blades, the higher production without difficulty.

Unmarked blades are imo shunned without reason. I have seen (and owned) very nice manufactured and conditioned daggers (anl) without mms, even with glass grips and pure ivory grips. As already stated by WW2-Collector there can be different reasons for an unmarked blade. Keep in mind that even at these times there was a big fight for market shares.
don´t forget that each certain dagger HAS a maker but it is nor shown.
And - would you look eg. for an SS chained dagger WITH mm?????????????????????
