Real or Fake SS Dagger RZM M7/36?
My Uncle who is now 89 who was on the boats on D-Day he was in the armour reg and fought his way through to Hannover & Braunschwerg. He has shown me this dagger of his and I'm on a mission to find if its real and if its worth anything for him. If its really how much is it worth and if its nowthow much is it worth? thank you for your time. P.S he was given this dagger after the war and he did not pick this up himself (hence the reason we are asking).

Sadly, I am going to have to say that it's a postwar dagger which seems to have been either artificially aged, or badly stored with an excess of the aging/corrosion (IMO) affecting the blade - and a number of other problems. FP

Hello Hannah and welcome to the forum,, unfortunately as Fred has specified, that it is definitely post war and my guess for a repro which looks like to be a Spanish made copy could be worth $50-$100. It makes for a nice wall hanger in a mans den. These repros were mass produced because of the desirability of the authentic examples. Thank you for sharing your photos!Best regards Larry

Sadly it is a copy. Lots of problems: Buffer pad: Himmler dedication blades were never RZM marked, etc.
Cheers, Ade.
