WW2 German M7/80 SS Dress Dagger Maker Spitzer With Hanger

The WW2 German M7/80 SS Dress Dagger Maker Spitzer with Hanger is a representative example of the edged weapons issued to members of the Schutzstaffel (SS) during the Third Reich era. This dagger was produced by Spitzer, a known and documented maker of SS dress daggers, corresponding to the M7/80 manufacturer’s code. The dagger features a nickel-plated steel crossguard and pommel, a black wooden grip inlaid with the SS runes, and an etched stainless steel blade bearing the standard SS motto “Meine Ehre heißt Treue.” The scabbard is painted black with nickel fittings and is accompanied by the correct period hanger, allowing for wear with the SS uniform. Such daggers were ceremonial items, awarded to SS personnel as a symbol of membership and allegiance. This example reflects typical construction details and markings associated with Spitzer-manufactured dress daggers from the Second World War period.
