A Very Rare - Model 1933 Schutzstaffel Dienstdolch by RZM M7/49 1203/38 SS - 1938 - Friedrich Herder of Solingen. The blade on this one is fair. The acid etched “Meine Ehre Heißt Treue” motto and “RZM M7/49 1203/38 SS” maker mark look great. Traces of crossgrain remain. It is nicely seated up against the hilt and the and the tip comes to a perfect point. The blade rates Exc. The edges show multiple nicks approximately 17. It has heavy age greying and some scratches. The steel based black painted scabbard looks fair as well. It has a line dent to the obverse. There are multiple hits to the edges as well. It retains 95%+ paint coverage. The fittings are steel based and plated. The lower fitting has a hit to the edge too. The ball remains perfectly round and all four screws remain intact. The scabbard to crossguard fit is perfect. The crossguards are zinc based and plated. As is typical the plating adheres better to the steel than the zinc. The black died hardwood grip looks good. A few bruises and a chip flake to the obverse. The aluminum eagle is wonderfully detailed. It has a wee wiggle to the fit. The SS roundel retains 99%+ of its enamel and has a perfect fit. An inexpensive option and you can always upgrade later. A very rare maker.
