SS EM/NCO Service Dagger RZM M7/37 (Robert Klaas)

Both sides of the blade show typical runner marks as well as streaks and surface grime, but there is visible crossgrain on the blade, while the obverse motto retains its interior burnish. The wood grip shows some scratches but it is without chips or cracks. The grip is inset with an eagle which has fine detail and uncleaned patina. The enamel SS runes button is angled to the 7 o’ clock position and it, too, is without chips or cracks. The guards fit the grip tightly and bear an uncleaned patina while showing some minimal speckling of the finish. The scabbard finish shows age and chips to the black paint, but it is largely intact.
