SS Dagger - Gottlieb Hammesfahr

[Berra]

I am don't have much experience in daggers so I would appreciate every information I could get on this dagger.

I think that the scarab could be repainted and I dont know if the crossguards should have any markings on a ss dagger....

and the moden handle don't have a super fit on both sides....

not the best,but still ok

[Berra]

Yes it is that dagger and

Reason for asking is that I dont have the knowledge to see i there is any thing wrong thats all.

For me the scabbard has been painted later than the 3rd Reich period judging from the photos................... but I certainly could be wrong.

I'm with JR, looks to be a repaint but I'm no expert, but on an early dagger like this, "should" be blued/anodized black with lacquer. Also the fits don't look real nice but it may have had a hard weathered life and shrunk a bit...but i don't like the "large" gaps just for personal taste.

Dagger is original. Scabbard is post war repainted. Gap is caused by the wood shrinkage - nothing we like to see on in our daggers, but some imperfections should be tolerated.

Fair price

Good morning, I have this dagger up for sale on stand, could anyone tell me what a fair price for this dagger would be. I have it on stand for $2500

Thanks,
Larry

I don't believe in something like "fair" or "unfair" prices in a free market. I believe in realistic prices, i.e. prices people are ready to pay for the item. If you'll drop the price every few days, I have no doubts that one day someone will say "I'll take it" and that's going to be the right price. I believe you're getting closer to such point. I see many guys selling on estand are confused with what they see on dealers websites, but price of a dagger offered by a reputable dealer and price of a dagger sold by a collector are two different pair of shoes.

Thank you for the help guys.
