IMO Type 2 solid nickel silver fittings w/ painted scabbard,circa 1936,based on material and quality of construction was made first,IMO type 1 came second with a heavy plated steel chain with a blued scabbard or a combination of nickel and steel,plated type 2 chains were made in the same era(1938)or RZM period as I like to say even tho they have no RZM mark. T Wittmann's book on SS edge weapons is a great place to start for info on SS Edge weapons.It's not cheap but you pay for what you get(Like SS daggers)
