Hard to find socials welfare officer dagger in prestine condition. Not to be confused with the more often observed Red Cross daggers (see differences listed below). Dagger is in light worn condition, blade is perfect. Complete with orginal hangers attached. No visible maker marks, as usual with these pieces.

The DRL leaders dagger was introduced in February 1938 for dress wear by officers of the rank of Wachtfuhrer and above.

The Social Welfare Officer dagger was the same as the Red Cross Dagger except for the following features: This is all speculation based on one persons theory. There are NO document facts to sustain this theory at all.
1) The hanger fixings on the scabbard had square instead of round holes.
2) The double straphangers had square pebble dash buckles, not the round buckles of the Red Cross Officer
3)The dual hanger straps were grey velvet with blue aluminium facings as opposed to the red facings of the Red Cross Officer dagger.
