Hi all. Tonight, I had a client come by with 3 German knives for appraisal. Knives are not my specialty and when I told him so, he said "well I'm sure you know someone who knows something about them." Which brings me to the 3 pics below. Any insight into these including potential value (however nominal) is greatly appreciated. Glad to find this forum by the way!

Knife #1 is a Fireman's bayonette, made by Weyersburg, Kirschbaum and cie.
Knife #2 is a short dress bayonett, made by the same company.
Knife #3 is an NSKK dagger, you will have to tell us the maker.
Appears to have NS fittings so it should have a maker's mark instead of an RZM #. Missing the eagle insert, but including the hanger.
It is in the sheath the wrong way, BTW.

Rzm
Thanks, rbminis. Here's a pic of the RZM on the NSKK. How do I know which way the dagger goes in? Both sides of the sheath look the same.
Oh yeah, any rough idea as to value? Trying to give this guy a ballpark. Thanks again.

Just wandered into this forum, but I'll bet from the side the hangar's on....Originally posted by Kyphote View PostHow do I know which way the dagger goes in? Both sides of the sheath look the same.
So when it's worn w/uniform, the eagle/SA insignia face outward, not inward.

Yes, it is worn on the left side with the eagle insignia facing outword.
So if you lay the dagger down with the eagle facing up, the hanger is on
the right side.

Just want to thank everyone for their help on this. You've provided more than enough history to share with my client. Great forum!Comment

Although relatively common pieces, they're all nice & certainly desirable considering the condition. If your client is looking to sell any or all, do shoot me an email or private message.Comment
