Estate Sale Basement Digs!

[diggummup]

The dagger is a WWII NSKK Dagger. It is identified by the brown handle and black scabbard.

The National Socialist Motor Corps (German: Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps, NSKK), also known as the National Socialist Drivers Corps, was a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party that existed from 1931 to 1945. Basically they were the chauffeurs of the Nazi party. I bought one last year for $40, had it authenticated, and sold it for over $450. This one looks exactly the same as the one I bought. Great purchase!!

The exact identity is made by what is on the other side of the blade near the bottom. Take a pic of that and post it.

Looks like a brown scabbard to me. That's why I referred to it as an SA versus an NSKK

I am pretty sure it's a replica now but I'll put up some better pictures tomorrow. If I were only so lucky...If it is the replica I think it is it sure would make one crazy looking digger tool for metal detecting!

This was part of a pile that I paid $65 for.

What red flags are making you believe it's a replica?

Nice finds, I remember the Jarts from back in the 70's. I had no idea they get good money.

The SA dagger is 100% as far as I'm concerned. I have literally owned hundreds of these in my 20+ years of collecting and this one looks pretty good to me from first glance. Better pictures would determine whether it's an early, transitional or late war piece. Period of manufacture will ultimately dictate final value as the early ones from rare makers always command a premium over the transitional or late war pieces.

Nice find!

Just noticed the photos in the other sub-forum. 100% legit for sure and a later war piece. Look here for an idea of value: https://www.lakesidetrader.com/German/WWII/Dagger/SA-NSKK/index.php#RZM-SA-Daggers

Note: I have no affiliation with the seller on the website mentioned above. I just know he sells daggers as fair market value.

Cheers,
Greg

I would have said I dont know what the trains are worth but my kid is going to love it and handed her the $5. If the seller doesn't take the money, I would gently remind her that she already said $5.

The company owner came down in the basement and pulled it from my pile and told me there was no way they were selling it for that price and marched it upstairs. I had to work fast before I completely lost out. I didn't want to make to much of a stir either because I already found a possible Nazi dagger and playing real cool was my only option.

Nice buys!!!

You might do very well with the Marx set in an original box. The box is stunning, and in very nice condition. Marx boxes are very hard to find, and may command a super price. Make sure you post all 12 photos of the set, including the box, and double box it when you ship it.

My brother has tried a few times to eBay his jarts and they get pulled every time. I checked finished and current auctions and their are none present. The empty boxes are selling from $10-30 though.

Looks like they pulled the ones that were listed. They have not cancelled my transaction, yet anyway. Sold listings sometimes will not show up for a period of time.

If eBay won't allow it, is there another venue that will allow Jarts to be listed? Amazon maybe? I saw a set of these in a box today at an estate sale. I'll lbuy 'em if I can sell 'em.

I haven't checked out other sites yet so I don't know. If anybody finds a good avenue please post it as I have a second set to sell. I received messages from other sellers on the bay asking how mine got through...lucky I guess.
