Help with chained SS-dagger

[stengaard]

Hi Guys.
A friend of mine has got this SS M.36 dagger.
The blade is stamped 941/40SS.
We would like to hear what you think about it.
Best regards Stengaard

The entire unit appears to be post war reproduction.

The piece looks very off at least the chain is for sure a repro and i am thinking the rest is to sorry to tell your friend !!

Check out other daggers that fellow collectors posted for opinions..

Not a dagger for me...

This dagger is not a repoduction! It is one of the late models (nickel Plated) the stamp on the blade RZM 941/40.... 941 is the kode from the maker Marx & Moschütz fabrik in Herzberg/Elster Brandenburg. 40 is the year of produktion. The daggerblade is from a mannschafts dolch/ the plain SS dagger it was fitted in to the sheath, this was a normal metode to save money, the most chain daggers have no RZM. But then a officer could save a lot of money, using his old daggers blade, hilt, to get the chain dagger as a officer. I have seen many repoductions of the chain dagger from Spain, China, Polen and Russia and they are all not very well made. This is not one of them. If you are a real collecter, you will not dout that.
Best regards

IMHO "if you are a real collector" you should have doubts about this dagger.
