"SS" Schutzstaffel (Elite Guard) Dagger
About the "SS" Schutzstaffel (Elite Guard) Dagger
"SS" Schutzstaffel (Elite Guard) Dagger is a non-firing reproduction finished in standard, built to the same scale as the original and supplied ready to display. The barrel is a solid casting and the chambers are blind, so nothing can be loaded or fired, while the mechanism still moves the way the original does. That is what makes it useful for a display case, a costume or a close up photograph.
Replica swords are sold blunt by law in most markets, and that is worth remembering when a listing says battle ready. The blades here are stainless or carbon steel, unsharpened, with a rounded or chamfered edge, and they are meant for display, costume and drill. They will not cut, and they should never be struck against another blade.
Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators: the standard finish fades unevenly in sunlight and heat dries the wood. A light coat of oil on a cloth, wiped over the metal twice a year, is enough. Store it in a cabinet or a presentation box rather than a foam case, because foam holds moisture against the metal.
