M7/13 Grip eagle material?

[keifer kahn]

Hi Guys,
What is the typical material used for a grip eagle on a m7/13 SA dagger?

Nickel silver,Nickel silver plated or aluminium?

RZM Eagles should be Aluminum; except on earlier made in 1936; when SA/SS 1934 & 1935 made parts were being used up, & those RZM daggers often had the earlier quality solid nickel Crossguards, too.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the reply,

One site i found states nickel silver eagles will be found on daggers produced 36-37 and another site says zinc and potmetal as well as aluminium for later daggers,1938 and on.Also copper eagles with nickel silver plating fror some of the earlier daggers.

Is there such a thing as a 1936 transitional marking for an m7/13 SA dagger?
I only keep on finding the markings " RZM" and "M7/13" without any schuttelhofer logo?
Was there such a beast?
