Product Description: Here’s a scare M7/27 Chained NSKK Dagger in very nice condition. The blade is mint on this M7/27 Chained NSKK Dagger and retains great original cross grain, with minor signs of blade runner marks. Retains nice acid style etching. The RZM code M7/27 on this example is for the producer Puma. The nickel plated steel cross guards are near perfect overall, only very small area of lifting on upper reverse guard being the most noted. Untouched aluminum style eagle and enamel roundel. A very nice rosewood grip with minimal damage on the upper reverse side. The scabbard remains dent free and shows similar patina to the upper and lower nickel plated steel fittings. The nickel plated throat drag, and center chain band are in great condition overall, with only one area of light lifting on the reverse side of the throat fitting. The fitting screws appear untouched with matching patina. Scabbard retains most of the original black paint with some very light crazing. A beautiful nickel plated steel chain is complete with all links in almost mirror like condition. The chain is correctly marked “NSKK” on the reverse of the upper link. An outstanding rare example of a M7/27 Chained NSKK Dagger ready for an advanced collection!
Historical Description: The NSKK (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps) was a motorized paramilitary organization under the auspices of the Nazi Party during the Third Reich. The members of this organization trained in the operation and maintenance of automobiles and motorcycles. It was a relatively small organization, with about 5,000 vehicles at its disposal in 1931. NSKK members had a rank structure based on that of the SA and wore similar uniforms and insignia. In 1933, NSKK members were authorized to wear the newly introduced SA dagger. Later, in 1936, a change was made to differentiate the NSKK dagger from the SA version. The NSKK dagger was to have a black finish on the scabbard, as opposed to the brown scabbard used by the SA. There was also a chained version, with a special suspension on the scabbard, that was worn by officers and by those who had joined the NSKK prior to early 1933. Because NSKK daggers were not made before 1936, and because the NSKK was a much smaller organization than the SA, the NSKK daggers were made in smaller numbers than SA daggers; they are correspondingly rarer to encounter today.
