UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SA & NSKK Dagger Forum SA Marine Dagger?

Greeting all.
Just joined the forum and happy to be here.
A co worker of mine has a possible SA dagger and would like to sell it to me,but we are both not sure whats it worth or if its original.
After some online research i think this could be a SA Marine,but could use some help from the Pros.
Not the best condition, but i think Original
Thx in advance.

Welcome to GDC Commando.


You will need more and better pictures for more info, but what I see:

Grip: Poor condition and the eagle has probably been replaced and is very worn

Scabbard: late production RZM era painted NSKK scabbard with lower fitting plating lifting off.

Blade: Bad photo

Tang: Made by or for Gebr. Heller Schmalkalden

Guards: Probably RZM era injection molded zinc - nickel plated

Note: Nothing I see indicates Marine SA/NSKK. It looks like maybe RZM NSKK

Thx for the input Dave. I'll try and get some better pics when I get off work.
I read in the net if there is an Anchor on the tang then it is probably a SA Marine, my bad.

Here are a few pics of the blade Dave.
By your evauation what do you think would be a good price to offer without robbing him?
Even though the condition could be alot better,its original and would be my first dagger.
Thx for the help

What maker ? Can we see the back of the blade and grip, please ?

There are no markings or numbers on blade other than whats on the tang.

My advice: Do not buy it

What I think it might be:

1. A late 1930's RZM scabbard

2. An earlier dagger that is a combination of parts:

a. A blade, made by Gebr. Heller, possibly with Ernst Rohm signature, now completely erased
b. Zinc guards from a later RZM dagger
c. A grip, cracked at the top, with a replaced, very worn eagle.

Even in this condition i would still think about buying it just to stick it in my display case. At least it is sum what original lolol.
What would you think a fair price would be, 100 bucks + - ?

Sound OK. Whatever you two can agree on.

Maybe you could show us some of your other items ?
