Lot 890
KOTO-ERA "O-SURIAGE" KATANA BLADEFinely-forged, massive katana blade, measuring 27" from "kissaki"(tip) to the habaki stop, and 36 1/4" overall, with a blade width of 1" at the kissaki and 1 1/4" at the habaki, with a weight of more than two pounds. The blade dates from the Koto period, prior to 1596. The sword is "mumei", meaning that the tang bears no signature or other identifying inscriptions, and the blade is "o-suriage", meaning that it was cut down at the tang to reduce the overall length. The tang shows a finely-oxidized, dark patina, with files marks evident on both sides, and two holes for "mekugi", or securing pins. Strong ridges appear on each side of the blade, with a third along the spine. The forging process has resulted in a great deal of "hataraki" or activity visible in the grain. The blade edge shows a wavy and distinct "hamon", or temper pattern, along the entire length. The surface of the steel shows some minor, isolated oxidation and scratches, expected given the age. The habaki is of mottled silver-plated copper. The blade is housed in a "shirasaya", a plain wooden scabbard and grip lacking a "tsuba" (hand guard) and any decoration. These mountings are used when a blade is to be stored for a long period of time, as the typical lacquered wood mountings retain moisture and encourage corrosion. The shirasaya scabbard bears the ink inscription: "From the collection of Utsunomiya Hiroshi", while the grip is similarly inscribed: "Suginami Ward, Koenji 4-537". The blade is secured within the shirasaya grip by a single mekugi. An extremely well-forged, antique example.
Lot 891
WAKIZASHI SWORD BLADE BY A STUDENT, IN THE STYLE OF A SADA MUNE SWORDFinely forged Japanese Wakizashi blade, 26 3/4" long, created during the Koto period, likely circa 1450. The tang features the appropriate layer of fine brown oxidation, and bears the signature "Sadamune", in reference to a highly-regarded sword maker of the era. The sword was likely forged by a student, and the signature was applied by his master in recognition of his talent. The reverse of the tang bears a date inscription. The blade is entirely hand-forged, with the grain of the folded metal clearly visible. A brass "habaki", or collar, is present above the tang, and is deeply etched with leaf pattern. The blade is housed in a "shirasaya", a plain wooden scabbard and grip lacking a "tsuba" (hand guard) and any decoration. These mountings are used when a blade is to be stored for a long period of time, as the typical lacquered wood mountings retain moisture and encourage corrosion. The blade is retained within the "tsuka" (hilt) by a wooden peg, or "mekugi". The blade bears very slight corrosion near the tip on one side, but is otherwise a fine antique example from a skilled swordsmith.
Lot 892
S.A. DAGGER WITH HANGER BY RASSPERare S.A. dagger, scabbard and hanger from maker Ernst Hugo Rasspe of Solingen. The grip of the dagger bears original SA button and eagle which fit properly. Theree is a tiny ding or two to the wood, mentioned only for accuracy. Detail to the crossguard and upper fitting remains entirely acceptable. The blade is very good, with etching still dark, though there is a small bit of corrosion where the blasfe meets the crossguard. Running lines are minimal. The scabbard bears a good deal of oxidation and one of the fittings lacks a screw: perhaps a little restoration might be called for with such a rare piece. Estimated accordingly.
Lot 893
ENGRAVED PRESENTATION S.A. DAGGERPresentation S.A. dagger. The dagger bears a dark brown wood grip inset with a somewhat oxidized S.A runes button and nickel eagle and swastika which retains excellent detail. The wood of the grip is slightly uneven incolor, and bears a little roughness at the upper hip. Both crossguards appear original to the dagger, fit very well to the grip, and are in very good condition. The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked: "BO". The blade bears a few very light running marks, and the etching of the S.A. motto "Alles fur Deutschland" ("Everything for Germany") is deep and still dark. The reverse rincasso is marked by the maker Carl Eickhorn. The red-brown scabbard is straight throughout. It has been repainted, and the lower fitting and ball bear some dents. The upper nickel fitting reads: "Treue um Treue ST. 2/1" with the reverse engraved with the owner's name: "Snelhof". The scabbard also bears the original short brown leather hanger with snap clip. Overall very good.
Lot 894
EARLY SS DAGGER WITH HANGERA superb SS dagger, one of the earliest of RZM production and marked "120/34" (possibly by Pack), with solid nickel components. The grip is near perfect, with only one negligible tiny surface indent, while the fittings, SS button and inlaid eagle are all originaland fit perfectly. Correct for this maker, the lower cross guard is München district "I" stamped. The pommel nut is unscratched. There are some minor green spots on the fittings which are very easily cleaned. The blade's engraving is dark, and running marks are nominal and entirely acceptable. There is some surface oxidation to the blade, which might be correceted to some extent. A vertical hanger is present, and it is SS 48/34 RZM-stamped. The buckle on the hanger is nicely marked with the Assman logo as well as "DRGM". The scabbard is free of any distractions whatsoever. A superior dagger.
Lot 895

Fitted with orange celluloid-covered wood grips with a wire wrap that remains in place and tight. The cross guard, depicting a left-facing national eagle in flight with oak leaves on a plain pebbled field, exhibits splendid detail and shows virtually no wear. The pebbled side of the crossguard is likewise excellent. The nickel-finish blade bears the mark of the Carl Eickhorn of Solingen, is fine, with only the tiniest spots of darkening. The scabbard is pebbled with an oak leaf pattern at the tip and on the hanger band. It is straight and has no scratches, dings or dents. Also present is a metallic silver portapee.
Lot 896
THIRD REICH POLICE DRESS BAYONETElaborate Third Reich police dress bayonet, 13" blade, 17 1/2" overall, with stag horn grips decorated with a nickel state police emblem, consisting of a national eagle within a wreath. The nickel-finished brass pommel is in the shape of a stylized eagle's head, while the hilt and quillion are decorated with oak leaves, worn away on one side from contact with the leather frog. The blade bears a bright nickel finish, and bears marks on both sides of the tang identifying the maker as "Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Cie." of Solingen. The scabbard is black leather with a nickel-finish throat and tip, with the original frog present. The blade shows slight run marks, with a tiny bend and some slight oxidation to the metal tip of the scabbard, as well as the wear to the quillion mentioned earlier, else very good.
Lot 897
SS SERVICE DAGGERLate M33 SS service dagger at an affordable price. The hardwood ebony-stained grip is fitted with the original SS runes button which is entirely intact, though the national eagle fitted beneath is possibly a later replacement. The grip is chipped at top and bottom, undoubtedly due to the wood swelling in a damp climate. The nickle-plated fittings are very good, retaining sharp detail with very little wear. The round pommel nut shows no evidence of having been ever turned thus we believe this dagger has never been apart. The blade is beautiful: The engraving: "Meine Ehre heisst Treue" is deeply cut and retains almost all of the original darkeining. Running marks are nominal, and the cross-graining on the blade remains distinct throughout. The reverese is marked: "RZM 1198/39" with SS runes. The scabbard is in equally fine condition, with the fittings bright and fine, and the bulbous tip undamaged. The black paint is almost perfect, with only a very few miniscule chips wiely scattered. Also present is a regulation black ss leather hanger with the snap clip marked "RZM M5/71". But for the chipped grip and replaced grip, an excellent dagger worthy of restoration.
