The hanger of the dagger consisted of a double chain suspension made up of links depicting alternating SS sigrunnen and the

The chained SS dagger is one of the most recognizable daggers of the Third Reich. The dagger is identical to its predecessor, the
1933 Standard Service dagger, except for the addition of the chain and the modifications that had to be made to the scabbard in
order to accomodate the chain.
Some of the modifications include:
- The addition of a cener scabbard fitting. Whose design ressembles a series of linked swatikas.
- The upper scabbard fitting was changed to accomodate the chain
