1936 Chained NSKK Dagger Grouping w/Medals & Photograph of Original Owner. RZM M7/66, (Carl Eickhorn) TM. This NSKK dagger grouping was originally obtained in Germany from the family of the original owner, NSKK-Staffelführer/NSKK-Oberstaffelführer Nibur. The dagger features nickel-plated hilt fittings showing minor surface wear/peckling adjacent to the crossguards, but no major loss orf plating as often found on plated fittings. Medium-brown, fine-grained wooden grip shows virtually t surface wear with no cracks or chips and with early quality grip-to-crossguard fit. The silver grip eagle and SA insert are properly inset. Polished blade grades EX+ with minor runner marks and light gray shadowing/speckling, but no pitting or nicks to the cutting edges. Deeply etched motto retains 100% of the dark gray background frosting. Dent-free, steel scabbard retains approximately 95% of the original black enamel, showing surface crazing primarily to the upper obverse/reverse shell with some tiny specks of missing paint primarily to obverse shell where the chain hanger has rubbed over the years. Dent-free nickel-plated upper, center and lower scabbard fittings show light surface wear with no lifting or pitting and with one tiny "ping" to the underside of the lower ball. All scabbard screws appear to be unturned with no damage. Nickel-plated chain hanger shows light surface speckling to the obverse/reverse links and connectors, but no major lifting to plating. Reverse chain is properly marked on the reverse, "Musterschutz NSKK-Korpsführung" and is also RZM marked, "RZM M5/8" for F.W. Assmann & Söhne, Ludenscheid). Upper clip with oak leaf connector is unmarked. The hanger is complete with EX++ brown leather hanger with plated D-ring. Included with the dagger are two photocopies of photographs of Herr Nibur in his NSKK service uniform as an NSKK-Staffelführer and NSKK-Oberstaffelführer. Although the unit designation on the collar insignia is not perfectly clear the Motorstandarten number appears to be either "M 11" (Ostsee) or "M 13" (Hamburg). Clearly shown in both photographs are the NSKK rank insignia, ribbon bar, Iron Cross 1st Class and 2nd pattern NSKK arm chevron. The decorations include the 1914 Iron Cross 1st class with custom made screw-back device and five-medal bar with 1914 Iron Cross, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt-Sondershausen War Service Medal w/Swords, 1914-1918 Cross of Honor w/Swords, Hungarian 1914-1918 Horty Medal and the Austrian 1914-1918 Commemorative Medal for World War I Service w/Swords. Ribbons and medals show minor age and bar is complete with felt backing and attaching pin. Nice Eickhorn chained NSKK example with photographs and medal grouping of original owner.
