Hi Ger,


Top condition RZM SS dagger, Congrats

Very hard to find these RZM SS daggers in this condition because of the low quality materials used, but saying that you can find plenty RZM SA daggers in this condition, i wonder why ?

I believe the SA dagger was the second most commonly produced dagger during the Third Reich with only the HJ fahrtenmesser having a higher production number. On the contrary however, the SS model was produced on a much smaller scale as well less members of the SS were eligible to be presented with one.
I'd also think, in accordance to the value and desirability of these things, most collectors are much more inclined to keep a SS dagger in their collection than a SA dagger, thus we see more of the SA daggers available for sale?
These of course are just my opinions.

I agree with your opinions & your correct in saying that more SA daggers were produced than SS daggers

Taken into consideration that the SA came first..and was well over 3 million men....the SA was the parent organization..and yes most agreeably the SS and what they represented has made these daggers highly desirable...as a Collector I am SA by heart..and will keep reminding that if it wasnt for the SA..there would be no SS

You cant have an SS dagger without the when and where it came from..sooooooooo With an SS dagger in a collection an SA dagger should stand before it Good topic. Regards Larry
