EARLY SS DAGGER "ERNST PACK"
This early EP&S SS dagger is a desirable piece from an uncommon maker, made even more attractive by the original leather hanger.
The blade on this one looks to be uncleaned. The SS motto on the blade is still legible and the original darkening and crossgraining is still visible.
There is some graying as well as remnant pitting traces on both sides. The reverse of the blade has an early EP&S maker logo indicating manufacture by the firm of Ernst Pack & Söhne.
The handle fittings on this EP&S SS dagger are the nickel silver version that one would expect to see on an early piece. The lower crossguard reverse has a neatly stamped “I” which is a Gau mark for the Munich district. The black wood grip has some wear and typical handling marks, and also shows typical traces of shrinkage.
The grip eagle is still in great condition as it is the SS button, keeping the enamel in perfect condition.
The scabbard on this one has nickel silver fittings that perfectly match the fittings on the handle. The original black anodized coating on the scabbard shows wear and patina from age, but remains more than 50 percent intact.
This EP&S SS dagger is complete with a beautiful leather hanger. It’s made of dark leather (RZM marked), with plated metal fittings, and is in excellent condition, with no damage.
This early dagger still presents very well and remains a very desirable early piece.
