The RZM looks good and the wear and tear looks good too which explains alot for the loss of plating...a bit too much for alot of value. I take it, it's without a sheath?

With no sheath and in that condition, $250-300.00. You can find good to very good SA daggers with sheaths, $550.-$650.00. Some people ask more but unless there is something historical about a certain piece...that's around the going price now.

From your photos, I would say, yes.............RZM proofmarks are nice to have, more than the usual maker marks. RZM marked Walther PP's go through the roof on prices because of the RZM.
Run a search on RZM proofed SA daggers and see what pop's up. |

$250-300.00 YIKES! The only thing left of any value might be the grip..Two ways to look at this..most collectors wouldn't want it period. Condition is paramount with daggers as with anything else. Secondly..if it can be had for 50 bucks that's one thing. $300? Without the scabbard? Bad economy. No way I would pay that. I am a dagger collector and I wouldn't want it laying around. I would have to look at it.

You can see the shape this one is in:
http://www.wwiidaggers.com/33694.htm The RZM maker's mark is: M7/13 Artur Schuttelhofer & Co Solingen - Wald Perhaps it did look as this one does when it was issued: http://www.wwiidaggers.com/31031.htm |

Edwin, I wouldn't want the $250 dagger on Wittmans site either! Even though it has a scabbard and hanger. I am not a 100% condition collector but I am not a rusted 5% collector either..
The second so called mint dagger Wittman has for $2500 looks funny to me on quite a number of counts..the tip looks dull, the scabbard looks like a re paint and the handle is badly chipped. The RZM daggers were second string..they cheapened them up, plated zink crossguards instead of solid nickel and they are not nearly as nice or coveted as the earlier dagger, Gau and maker marked. Like I say..$50 tops for me and that's because it has a nice wooden handle from what I can see. Might not be as nice in hand. I would rather save my money and get a fairly decent/complete example.

This one above has seen better days but with some proper cleaning, it could have cleaned up a bit, especially the blade. You have to admit, the dagger compared to the one on Wittmanns is in better shape. I'm not into daggers anymore, that's why it's surprising to me to see them so low in value. |

I've noticed something else also, getting an SA/SS dagger at one time was the thing and nice police bayonets were not, it seems now the police bayonets are worth more than a normal everyday issue SA dagger.

Late war dagger. Blade is in poor condition. Missing scabbard I would off no more than $100 and if that is rejected I would walk and not think twice about it, These are a very common dagger and it wouldnt be hard to find another.

Late war RZM daggers are the most common. As mentoned, a $100 value. Maybe $125-$150 if you really, really wanted it. Finding a loose scabbard is going to be a challenge.
