Mint Himmler Honor Dagger by Eickhorn – D1281
These sought after M33 daggers were initially awarded to 200 of Himmler’s SS troops who took part in the assassination of Ernst Rohm as well as his most trusted hierarchy of the SA paramilitary organization. The example being offered in this listing is absolutely outstanding as shown by the photos.
Beginning with the hourglass shaped grip which is unmistakenly a textbook characteristic of the most famous edged weapon manufacture in Solingen during the 3rd Reich era, the handle on the hilt of this dagger is truly outstanding to say the least. It remains void of any chips, splits, cracks, repairs or anything else. As expected, the nickel silver eagle is of the high-neck variety, whereas the runic button shown with the narrower lightning bolts which is most often seen utilized with these Himmler honor dagger handle emblems. Both crossguards are smooth as all get out, with the lower benchmarked with the number 8.
A gorgeous scabbard accompanies this exquisite, edged weapon. The shell remains perfectly straight, void of any hits, dings, creases, or bends. If that is not enough for you, this shell not only retains 100% of the factory’s chemical blue oxide finish. But it gets better. This scabbard also still has nearly all of the protective lacquer surface coating intact as well !
We finish up with the blade. One sentence says is all……….. “it just doesn’t get any better !”
A fantastic Himmler Honor dagger, which has to be the best condition that I have ever seen. It must have been extremely special to the awardee, in that they put it away for safe keeping in this pristine state of condition which you see in this offering. $29,995.00
