Third Reich SS Dagger — Maker Marked Bertram Reinh, Authentic WWII German Collectible

This Third Reich SS Dagger, maker-marked Bertram Reinh, is an original example of one of the most iconic edged weapons produced in Nazi Germany. Crafted to the high standards of SS issue, this dagger represents a highly desirable artefact of the period and remains a centrepiece for any advanced militaria collection.

Introduced in the mid-1930s, the SS service dagger was issued to members of the Schutzstaffel as a symbol of loyalty and prestige. Manufactured by a number of Solingen cutlers, examples by rarer makers such as Bertram Reinh are particularly sought after by collectors.

This example retains its original finish with clear Bertram Reinh maker’s mark, adding significant collector value. Signs of age and patina are present, consistent with its wartime manufacture, while overall preservation ensures strong display impact.
