Amazing privately purchased SS [Schutzstaffel] Dagger in early Version. Modell 1933. The dagger is in Near Mint condition throughout. This early SS Dagger is with the Maker Ernst Pack & Söhne Solingen, desired producer for the SS dagger.. 
This grip fits the crossguards. The grip eagle is the early, “High Necked” variety. All the details are visible throughout the bird's feathering, talons, wreath, and mobile swastika. This early dagger is equipped with nickel crossguards and tang nut. These guards are in good shape. The guards are still in good condition, showing an average amount of wear from use. The lower reverse guard is with "I" [Munich] stamped.
The blade of this example is still in EXC++ condition. The motto Meine Ehre heißt Treue «My honor is loyalty». The reverse ricasso of the blade "E.P. & S. SOLINGEN" (Ernst Pack & Sohne) with the company's attractive hammerman insignia in the centre on the ricasso. The blade shoulders perfectly meet the lower crossguard contour.
The scabbard shell is also an nice example; it is straight as an arrow, with original “anodized” finish. Original “zapon” varnish coating is still partially present. The matching nickel mounts are in fine condition. The mounts are retained by four nickel screws.
Completed with original matching 3-peaces hanger, which never removed from the beginning. 
Dagger was in private collections well-known collector and expert in edged weapon Ger Hessels. According to his information, the dagger had never been disassembled, which was confirmed by visual inspection.
Nice item for the discerning collector, difficult to find in this condition!
