A surprising find!!!

[stephen87]

So my girlfriend's dad was talking to me and pulled out this dagger that he thought was pretty cool. Someone had found it and gave it to him. I was looking at it and it's some type of Nazi dagger. On the blade it says "Alles fur duetscheland"(or something to that effect) and on the sheath it has the Nazi symbol. Not just the swastika, but the eagle and everything. After I pointed that out to him, he wanted to know what year it's from and everything of the sorts. Value, age, etc. This is where INGO comes in. Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who knows this kind of stuff or does anyone on INGO know?

The one pictured is an SS dagger much more sought after and thus much more expensive, the SA dagger can be had for around 850, SS more into the 2500-3000 range. There are repros out there so be careful.

Audie, it looks quite a bit like that. I've got pictures of it.

Looks like it's a little rusty, I'd take a wire wheel or maybe a grinder to it.

No, seriously, don't let anyone do anything to it. Nice find!

Hitler youth dagger.

Hitler youth dagger.

A youth dagger or HJ would not look like this, with the pictures it is positively a SA (Stormtrooper) dagger, very cool piece not worth a whole lot in its condition but bery cool none the less.

I think I've heard them say that they don't really like having nazi stuff sitting in their shop.

That was the first thing he said. Then it turned to slow-mo. I dove through the air for it, yelling, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

Seriously though, he said, "I should clean it up." I told him it would probably wind up messing it up. He's not a big history buff, but if it's basically worthless I may just offer him what it's worth. I love WWII stuff and this would be a cool conversation piece. I don't care about values.

When I said not much value you are still talking 200-400 and if the rust is just surface and has not pitted a good cleaning can increade the value alot. Do you have a picture of the back of the blade, if it has a makers mark the value can increase, take a magnet to all of the metal parts, if it does not stick to them they are probably solid nickle and that makes it worth more as well.

I'd say that is pretty fair considering the ones I've priced in a little better condition. That thing would go great with my collection of WWII German goodies.

 

[stephen87]

I've never been able to find WWII stuff for a decent price, so this would be a great start for my collection.

I have one of these I found at a garage sale. I will not tell you how much I had to pay for it. Earlier this year, I was told it could be worth as much as $1000. I have seen two on Craigslist...One for $750 and the other for $1500. I won't part with mine.

The name I found was: WWII Nazi German SA NSKK Carl Eickhorn Dagger.
