HITLER YOUTH LEADER DAGGER (RZM type). Stamp – M7/36. (Lot: 1457)
$ 7,995 fee: 22.5%The honorary edged weapon intended for wear by the leadership of the Hitler Youth organization served as an important status attribute for leaders. However, the number of daggers actually purchased was notably lower than the number of leaders who were entitled to such weapons by virtue of their position. According to the recollections of a son of one of the Hitler Youth leaders, his father preferred to wear a pistol in a holster with his uniform instead of a dagger. The reason was that the dagger had to be purchased with one’s own funds, and at the time it was quite expensive. Therefore, not every organization leader who had the right to wear one actually acquired such a dagger. This circumstance is one of the reasons for the comparative rarity of original examples today. A separate challenge for collectors is the authentication of such items. The market contains fairly high-quality modern reproductions, as well as restored and assembled examples with replaced parts. Consequently, a Hitler Youth leader’s dagger requires particularly careful examination: one must evaluate not only the blade and manufacturer’s mark, but also the grip, emblem, metal fittings, scabbard, and hanger, as well as the correspondence of all components to one another and to the period of manufacture.
The RZM type represents a category of German daggers from the Third Reich period produced under the control of the Reichszeugmeisterei (the Imperial Equipment Office of the NSDAP). Such items were marked with a special RZM code and manufacturer number instead of the traditional maker’s trademark; this was introduced for standardization and quality control of Party edged weapons. RZM-type daggers are characterized by more uniform execution.
The marking M7/36 is an RZM production code assigned to the firm E. & F. Hörster of Solingen, one of the renowned German manufacturers of edged weapons.

Officer sword of Third Reich [FW. Höller]. With an additional eagle on the back of the grip (Lot: 1472)
Auction EndedOfficer parade weapons, revived following the restoration of the German armed forces, continued the proud traditions of the Imperial Army and the Reichswehr. Unlike the Army dagger model 1935, officer sabers were produced in numerous design variations by various Solingen manufacturers. Production of this type of weapon was discontinued in May 1943 due to wartime industrial demands; however, examples already in service continued to be worn with parade uniforms. In late 1944, the wearing of parade edged weapons was completely abolished, and officers were ordered to carry a pistol instead of a saber or dagger.
The blade bears the mark of the renowned Solingen firm F. W. Höller Waffenfabrik, founded in 1866 and officially registered with the Solingen authorities on 5 June 1883. From its founding, the company specialized in the production of edged weapons and cutlery. Throughout the late 19th century and during the First World War, the firm manufactured a wide range of military products, including bayonets, sabers, and swords. In 1905, the company registered its well-known trademarks: the thermometer image, as well as the figure of a man tipping his hat with the inscription “Hut ab!” (“Hats off!”). From 1914 to 1939, the firm was managed by Julius Küller. During the Third Reich period, Höller became one of the largest and most prolific edged weapons manufacturers in Solingen, specializing in a broad range of military products. In 1935, the company was located at Sonnenstraße 8, Solingen, and that same year received RZM license M7/33. Products were actively advertised in specialized journals and catalogs, showcasing an extensive assortment that included NSDAP and Wehrmacht daggers, swords, and bayonets. The firm also produced parade bayonets with high-quality etched blades. In 1941, Höller celebrated its 75th anniversary, promoting the Höller Model 21 sword as its flagship model. In June 1941, the company was assigned the K98 bayonet manufacturer letter code (fze). Following the end of the Second World War, under the ownership of Herr Grah, the firm continued operations, producing cutlery, kitchen and professional knives, swords, and scissors through the 1970s. The company was officially liquidated in December 1974. Particular collector value is added to this example by a rare decorative detail: an additional eagle on the grip backstrap, distinguishing this saber from standard production specimens.

SA Service Dagger (Early type). [Stöcker & Co. SMF]. Rarity 6/10 (Lot: 1465)
Auction EndedA service edged weapon of the SA (Sturmabteilung) storm troopers, adopted in 1933. The distinctively shaped blade with double-sided sharpening bears the legendary motto “Alles für Deutschland.” The handle is made of brown-colored wood and decorated with the SA emblem featuring an eagle; the metal scabbard is finished in the same brown tone.
The early type of SA/NSKK daggers was produced between 1933 and 1936 and is distinguished by a number of characteristic design features. The scabbard and handle fittings are made of nickel silver (German silver), which, combined with the high quality of component fitting and the anodized scabbard coating, sets these examples apart from later production runs. This dagger was manufactured by Stöcker & Co. SMF. Early examples are particularly prized by collectors due to their impeccable craftsmanship and historical significance as the first service daggers of the storm troopers.
A rarity rating of 5 out of 10 according to the Ralf Siegert classification indicates that such examples are relatively uncommon on the antiques market.

Imperial German Navy Officer’s Sword [E. & F. Horster]. Marine Corps (Seebataillon) (Lot: 1468)
The naval saber was a mandatory attribute of the dress uniform of officers in the Kaiserliche Marine. During the period of Kaiser’s Germany, the imperial anchor beneath the Kaiser’s crown was characteristic in the design of the hilt. The classical variant featured a brass hilt, ivory grip, and a lion’s head with eyes of red and green color. The scabbard was typically made of black leather with brass fittings; steel scabbards are considerably rarer. Sabers were purchased by officers at their own expense, which resulted in numerous variations of execution. Standard and Damascus blades can be found, various hilt designs and decorative scabbard finishes, as well as several sizes ranging from light and elegant to large Grosse Pattern models. It is precisely this diversity of execution that makes naval sabers a particularly interesting independent field of collecting: collections can be built according to manufacturers, sizes, hilt types, blades, and finishing variations. Along with the dirk, the saber remained a symbol of officer status and the continuity of German naval weaponry traditions of the nineteenth century.
E. & F. Hörster, one of the largest Solingen manufacturers of naval edged weapons, operated from the nineteenth century and continued production during the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich. The firm produced high-quality naval sabers and dirks in various execution variants. Already before World War I, Hörster products were supplied not only for the German market but were also exported to other European countries, including the Russian Empire. Thanks to its long operational period, Hörster products allow one to trace the development of naval edged weapons from the Kaiser era to the Kriegsmarine.
Seebataillone represented naval infantry units of the Kaiserliche Marine. There were several marine battalions, and the custom-made edged weapons associated with them constitute a separate field of collecting German naval weaponry. A characteristic feature of such items is the combination of naval and infantry attributes. For example, an officer’s saber could feature a traditional naval hilt and blade but be equipped with steel infantry-type scabbards. Custom specimens frequently bear personal dedications from one officer to another or from the officer corps to a specific serviceman of a Seebataillon. In addition to officer sabers and other custom edged weapons, this group includes infantry-type bayonets for Mauser system rifles with Seebataillone designations and symbols. Most such items bear unit designations; however, named specimens also occur, representing particular collecting interest.
This saber features a characteristic openwork pierced hilt, presented in the catalogs of several manufacturers; however, it did not correspond to the established standard for Kaiserliche Marine edged weapons and was subsequently prohibited from being worn. It is precisely this unusual feature that makes such sabers particularly desirable among collectors today. Such specimens were predominantly ordered as presentation weapons, for example upon an officer’s transfer to another unit or upon his retirement from service, and served as an object of special pride for the owner. The present specimen is entirely original; the factory riveting of the hilt remains intact, the saber has not been disassembled, and retains its original configuration.
