Here we have an Early Model 1933 NSKK Dagger (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps Dienstdolch) by Gegr. Bell of Solingen-Gr. A fine looking blade on this one! The acid etched "Alles für Deutschland" motto and "Gegr. Bell GB Solingen-Gr." maker mark are both dark, crisp and beautifully executed! The crossgrain is easily visible all the way from the hilt to the tip. The tip comes to a sharp point and the fit remains nice and tight! This blade rates a solid Exc++/NM. It shows minor age grey/ spotting and surface scratches throughout. The scabbard is steel based and black anodized. It is heavily worn with pitting, oxidization spotting and pressure marks throughout. The solid nickel-silver scabbard fittings match the crossguards quite well. The ball is split to the seam. All four scabbard screws remain tightly intact. The scabbard / crossguard fit is near perfect and closes with a snap! The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked "B" (Berlin-Brundenburg). The brown hardwood grip looks good. It has a 1 hairline crack above the roundel along with the commonly seen pressure marks throughout. No flakes or chips. The solid nickel eagle retains beautiful details and has a perfect fit. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains 97%+ of its enamel. A fine example.
