This dagger just came out of the woodwork less than a mile from our office. The charming thing about this dagger is that it is conclusively 100% is genuine and original and that it is totally uncleaned and un-messed with and in untouched with condition. This is perhaps the only way you can get one of these things and know you have the geniune bonifides. This is a first type chained SS dagger, the blade still shows the cross-graining in the metal and has never been polished. the chain clasp spring is tight as a tick. The best part about this is that it is completely filthy with 70 years of age, grime and gunk accumulated on it.
The chained SS dagger has consistantly over the years been the most sought after of the Nazi era daggers. There are rarer daggers but there is not any Dagger that is more desired by the collecting community. This is still hands down the dagger everyone want to own. Cleaning it is your choice.
