M7/33 SA Dagger by F. W. Holler
SOLD!
A truly nice SA Dagger, this late RZM dagger by F.W. Holler (a RARE maker of SA daggers) is near mint! The metal plating is 99%, with only a couple small chips to the top of the pommel nut. There is a line of extremely minor surface pitting where the top guard meets the grip (on both sides), but hardly worth mentioning…

A truly nice SA Dagger, this late RZM dagger by F.W. Holler (a RARE maker of SA daggers) is near mint!
The metal plating is 99%, with only a couple small chips to the top of the pommel nut. There is a line of extremely minor surface pitting where the top guard meets the grip (on both sides), but hardly worth mentioning.
The grip is in amazing condition, with barely a scratch to note. The SA roundel shows some signs of the normal discoloration around the edges that you normally find with these, but does not affect the overall appearance at all. The eagle is nice and bright, retaining about 98% of its detail; very little wear at all.
The blade on this dagger is one of the best I’ve come across in a long time. Only a few VERY minor stain spots can be found, along with one slightly larger spot measuring approximately 1/8” x 1/8”. A very nice and pronounced cross grain remains, and the motto is nice and crisp with a uniform gray tone you’d expect to see from this maker. The maker mark reads, “RZM M7/33 1940”, which attributes to F. W. Holler, and is nice and crisp as well. Blade, cross guard and grip fit is nice and tight.
The scabbard color is a nice milk chocolate brown in color, with 99.9% coverage. I would give it a 100% rating if not for a couple very faint scratches that are hardly worth mentioning, but I’d rather note them nonetheless. The scabbard metal fittings are 100%, and the ball tip is without flaw. All scabbard screws are present and appear to be unmessed with.
The hanger is the most worn part of the dagger, with the leather showing its age, but is still very solid and no notable rips or weak spots. The metal clasp has a large surface rust spot on the exterior surface of the movable piece, but otherwise functions perfectly.
I can’t overstate how nice this one is. It’s rare to come across an SA dagger so well preserved, and by a rare maker on top of it. A real gem!

Boker SS Dagger with Vertical Hanger
SOLD!Here’s one for the die hard Boker SS Dagger fan. Another example never before offered to the public. This dagger was recently purchased from a relative of the WW2 veteran who liberated it during the war, and has been packed away for decades! The grip is a nice even black tone that almost perfectly matches the color of the scabbard.

Luftwaffe M42 Winter Camo Single Decal SD Helmet
SOLD!Here we have an interesting M42 Luftwaffe Single Decal helmet with the remnants of the winter camo still present around the eagle, the rim, and other areas of the exterior. This is not uncommon as the soldier “scrubbed” the camo on/off of the helmet depending on the terrain. Winter camo Luftwaffe helmets are very difficult to find in any condition, and while the white of the camo has been scrubbed from the surface, even having the remnants present makes this a rare find.

Kriegsmarine (Navy) Dagger by Carl Eickhorn
SOLD!Here’s a really nice Eickhorn Navy (Kriegsmarine) Dagger with an absolutely beautiful blade, and a ton going for it. The grip and fittings are about as good as it gets, with no cracks to the ivory colored grip, and a very attractive patina to the gold colored fittings; just enough to give them age.

Luftwaffe M35 Helmet – Reissue (former DD reissued as SD) with Rare Huber Jordan & Körner Decal
SOLD!This is quite a unique helmet in several ways. It started it’s life as a double-decal M35 helmet, and was period repainted (possibly camo paint) with the scarce Huber Jordan & Körner replacement Luftwaffe decal applied over the new paint. The decal in itself is a real hard one to come by, and with the soldier’s name applied to the tape on the inside only makes this one more special!

Hi Gary. What you’re describing makes me believe that the marking is beneath the eagle on the wooden grip, is that correct? I’d like to see some photos of your dagger so I can get a better idea of the marking you’re referring to. It may have been carved in to the wood by the post-war owner, but it’s difficult to tell without seeing it. I’ll message you privately about the photos I need to see.
Thanks!
Darren

I have an officer’s dagger with ivory handle that looks like the others you presented, except it has an FW Holler mark partially under the eagle wreath. Is this unusual?
