Your description is a little vague, a picture paints a thousand words.

They are legal in most of Europe - We have different laws in different countries - Although the law in Germany makes the Swastika illegal

Yes they did. If the S.S, Gestapo, or other socialist organizations' members discovered someone who was either conspiring against the Nazis or just if they felt like it they would slit their victim's throat with the dagger. It was considered an honor to kill for the Fuhrer. They were also used for dress but remember that the S.S generally did not carry the dagger on their combat uniform. The worth of the disc would probably be around $10? I am not sure but they aren't worth too much. If you don't want it I would take it! ;) My great uncle was in the Gestapo.

There is a local rifle shop with a rifle that is about $150.00 and it has a swastika on it, point being there is no telling as some of these things are quite common. Best to take it in a pawn shop and ask what he will give you, then multiply that by about five and you have an estimate of its worth. I personally own a rifle with a hammer and sickle engraved, picked it up for a little over one hundred dollars.

Answer 6

It sounds like an SS dagger. If its an SS officers knife, then it can be worth a lot of money. I assume you were working in an dead WW2 vets place and found it there. The vet most likely got it off a dead SS officers body in France or in Belgium or even in fighting in any other number of war fronts. I don't know if its legal to have in europe, but here in the states its legal to have. I would suggest that you found out what the legal status is where you live. Good luck you.

Answer 7

Can't be sure without seeing a picture of it but it sounds like a Kreigsmarine Dagger.

Answer 8

It is A Senior German Officers Dress Dagger, they usually had an inscription on the blade, "Uber Fer Duetshland" ( Germany over All)

Answer 9

18 inches? its not a dagger and probably a dress bayonet. All members of the high ranks within the reich from postal service to SS were given dress daggers and bayonets. The eagle is the emblem of the reich itself. This is the closest i can find



under the heading german bayonets, 3rd item down, click on "stampings" highlighted in blue

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Answer 11

Keep it for another 20 years. It'll be worth more.

Send a pic to Scotty and he can tell you what it's worth.

Answer 13

Nazi memorabilia is illegal to trade in Europe, so unless you are in the states, I would suggest you take it to the nearest museum. Make sure you contact them first, stating where you obtained it.
