I am a private collector based in the South of England with an interest in historical WW2 German Third Reich dress daggers.

​

What is a 'dress dagger'?
A dress dagger is decorative dagger which was worn for ceremonial purposes as opposed to a bayonet which is attached to the end of a riffle and used in combat.

 ​

What am I looking for?

I am looking for original, uncleaned daggers that are in good condition for my private collection. I am not a dealer.

 

What do I mean by 'original uncleaned' condition? 
Historic artefacts are best left as they are. Unfortunately when a dagger is cleaned or the blade is polished you are literally wiping away history. Over time antiques build up patina. This can act as a layer of protection and also improve their appearance. Some blades have a factory finished cross grain (small lines across the blade). If they are polished this can be lost.

​

If you have something you would like to sell please fill out the contact form on the Contact page and I will get back you shortly.

 

Items of particular interest are:

Don't worry if you are unsure of what you have. The Nazis were obsessed with giving everyone a dagger. Even the postman had one! I will be able to help you with identification.
