My father's SS-Dienstdolch Modell 1936

[downywobbles]

Hi
My dads dagger has remained hidden for 65 years, he fetched it to the uk in 1946, he was a tank driver in the derbyshire/staffordshire yeomenry, later the Inns of court reg. stationed near Newcastle.
I need to sell it as my mother is very ill, my wife wont have it in the house ! and my 3 sons are not interested.
I have showed it on the web in 2007 and although they said it was original but was not best to collect as it had a gua ? mark and a small screw missing and no makers name.
I have just advertised it on a militaria site in the us and probably asking way over at 4800 dollars but a local medal shop offered me2100.00 bp this week.
Any advice on selling it or info on it would be greatly appreciated

The lower guard may have beed replaced with one from an SA ?

Also might have a ground off inscription, if there is no maker present ?




Interesting !

Hi, and welcome to the forum!

The lack of makers mark is correct: these daggers should not have maker marked blades.

The dagger has surely been taken apart at some stage as evidenced by the screws etc. The lower crossguard is from an SA dagger.

Cheers, Ade.

Don´t worry ´bout that !

It´s not really seldom seen, that the lower guard on an M36 show´s a Gaumarke !

I add an pic of the Gaumarke on the crossguard of my M36.

Rgds.,

BTW:
An M36 never show´s a maker´s-mark, except, the scabbard of the M36 was "upgraded" with an M33 !

Not many SS daggers floating around over here - chained or otherwise !
I do see a lot of SA, but SS are THE dagger to have.

Hello there,

Shouldn't have a problem moving a beauty like this!

Wow that's nice one. These things go for A LOT of money, especially with the chain and everything, but I would hold on to it!

Ade's correct. That Gau marking shouldn't be there. It's from an SA dagger.

I'm not an SS collector so i'll demur a bit. I would post it on GDC in the SS dagger section. You'll get everything you need to know. They'll give you every little detail..both good and bad, and probably give you a good parkpark value for both a collector to collector, and collector to dealer sale. Link below to the SS sub-forum:
