The bright blade on this one looks great! The dark and crisp acid etched "Alles fur Deutschland" motto and "SMF Solingen" maker mark are both beautifully executed! The fit remains nice and tight and the tip comes to a perfect point! This blade rates Exc++. It shows the common age spotting, minor age discoloration and surface scratches throughout. The brown anodized scabbard looks excellent! It shows the common surface scratches throughout along with one small area of oxidization to the back. It remains completely dent free and holds a nice brown finish to it! The solid nickel scabbard fittings look great and have nicely patinaed with age. They match the crossguards in color, patina and condition. The ball remains perfectly round and all four screws remain tightly intact! The scabbard / crossguard fit is perfect and closes with a snap! The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked, off to the one side (as it always is): "Ho" (Hoschland). The brown hardwood grip looks excellent! It shows the common pressure marks throughout. It is hand personalized "C.E." to the back of the grip. There are no cracks, flakes or damage. The grip / crossguard fits are near perfect! The solid nickel eagle retains beautiful details and has a near perfect fit. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains 100% of its enamel. A fine example of an early SA Dagger!
