I have been wondering about this for the longest time.
Given the strictness of German policy and especially the SS, why do we find so many 1933 SS daggers around with the non chain scabbards?
I would expect that 95% of the daggers that are now on sale would be with the 1936 chain scabbard since SS men were to replace their scabbards based on Himmler's order. Sorry if my facts may be wrong but if someone can provide additional information on this topic that will be much appreciated.
