Hi Ron thanks for posting this dagger when I get home tonight I'm going to dig into the history of this maker and the RZM number it was assigned right now that number is not looking too good. What I'm seeing is M.7 / 6.7 there are no makers that used a point system between their numbers. This is the first for me and many others I'm sure to see this type of numbering... It is not common for this to appear like this. Late RZM did not have the dual logo of RZM and the SS runes. Again I am going to dig into this. Other comments and opinions are welcomed. Regards Larry

Reads like an advert if you ask me is this for sale?
Anyway, I don't know whats with the decimal point I wouldn't be happy with it.
Cant say Im overly enthusiastic about the gap in the crossguard either, certainly not the usual quality we see from gottlieb hammesfahr.
I would also have liked to have seen the spine go through the center of the rzm circle.
I hate to break it to you Ron but your blade concerns me.

Allmost the same dagger:
Look
An RZM Marked WWII German SS Dagger
The comma between the 6,7 is a spot/stain

Hi Gents...Ok...I went into some of my reference..it it seems that 9 makers ( M.7 / 3.... 5..7..8..40..52..62..67..and 94..all of which used a single decimal point between the "M" and 7.
Comparing 3 photos..Rons dagger photo..and 2 logos from my reference library. The first one being an SA RZM code and the other an SS code also like that of Rons dagger.
Sometimes when collecting and studying..there are times we seem to miss the minute details....and usually they matter most. I have no issues with the Logo or the blade...but the tang clearance fit is not the best...most likely the sign of the times when dagger were quickly assembled..without regards to fit. Regards Larry

Nothing more to add.....a genuine Hammesfahr in original condition....no red flags that I can see. The crossguard gap is just a sign of the slipping of quality production in wartime, in my opinion. The only question I would have, is has the sheath been repainted? It looks almost too perfect, if that makes any sense...
