UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SS Dagger Forum Ernst Pack & Sohn

Hello gents.

I would like to show you some images of my Pack SS M.33, along with a Pack SA M.33 dagger for comparison.

To start with I love EP&S quality and finish, in almost all cases I have encountered the grip fittings are superb. The cross guards are always very straight, especially evident on this SA dagger. The grip eagles appear to be the same high necked variety.

A slight negative point on this SS is that the scabbard had been painted at some point, but the quality of the paint work seems to indicate a III Reich period job.

Not a negative, but an interesting aspect is the patina and colour of the SS grip. It is I believe hard ebony, and it has black and dark brown stripes running through it.

Your opinions would be greatly valued.

Will
