SS Model 33 come Model 36 Chained Dagger, opinions please.
Hi Folks, I would love some help from members relating to my SS Dagger. This dagger was acquired by me from a vets family about 10 years ago ( Scottish soldier, dagger hung on wall for many years) and put away until know and I am trying to record as much history as I can to keep with it. From my research on the net to date, and please correct me where I’m wrong, this dagger is,
1) A Boker model 1933 ( as M36 Chained Daggers had no maker mark)
( yes, the vet’s family member did a nasty job on the blade cleaning by the looks of it, probably hours before it came into my hands, but these things happen :eek:,)
2) The scabbard has a bluing, anodized finish ( I think) with some age related, spider webbing, as well as nickel plated fittings?? with loss in places.
3) Someone dropped it,
4) The skull chain is a type II
5) Either the original owner purchased a new chained scabbard for his M33 Dagger or the scabbard for the M33 had a period upgrade???
6) No Roman numerals on the cross guard, what does this mean??
7) Is this an early dagger or not?
Many thanks for any input,
Mark in Oz
