A point of reference..would be to see if the guards are marked "PA" which is a common generic guard used for many producers. Although most Bertram Reinh daggers found do have the Roman Numeral "I" stamped on the guard..I would not throw this dagger away because it has a ""III" for Berlin. We do not know the whole scope of these SS dagger producers being soley distributed to said districts..as well fitted untouched SA daggers with undocumented gruppe marks are being uncovered today.
This producer or distributor has assembled fine crafted fittings to be assembled under the supervision of this producer and to be distributed through said SS districts.
Very Nice find. Regards Larry

It could have been a small batch sent on to Berlin to fill a deficit from one of the Berlin District suppliers. I would not be overly concerned. It looks like a decent Solingen Bertram and in great shape. Well found!

Larry, the dagger is on it's way next week to me. I have a 'bring back'- agreement with the seller' in case there's something terribely wrong.
I'll check or there is any 'PA' marking in the crossguards. The dagger was allready opened and I will, offcourse, be very carefull to check it.
I'll make and post a total new fotoshoot of the dagger.
Regards, Kris

Ohw yes, what kind of hanger should I look for to complete the dagger? And where shall I look for such? Thx.

Unless there is evidence of a vertical hanger (Ie wear to the scabbard) go fo the conventional black leather hanger strap.

So true Ade ! ..as this scabbard does not appear to have the rubbing of a crosstrap of a vertical hanger present on the upper part of the scabbard. This SS dagger was one of generic distribution having the 3 pc marching hanger.
A 2 pc hanger ( minus the grip retaining loop ) would also dress up this dagger nicely. Regards Larry

Thanks Ade. It is this kind of hanger strap that I have in mind. But not an RZM one.
