Early SA by Waffenhammer Deggendorf

German WWII > Edged Weapons > SA and NSKK Daggers > Early Daggers

Here's a maker from the very edge of the Reich, Deggendorf is far from Solingen located in Bavaria near the Austrian border. This is nice with all matching patina- exactly what we like to see. The bright blade on this one has tons of original crossgrain remaining and a nice dark motto. The blade rates an Exc++. The brown anodized dent-free scabbard is lightly worn, and has some surface oxidizing. The solid nickel fittings are also lightly worn but still look great. All of the screws remain intact. The ball is in near perfect shape, just very slightly flattened to the bottom. The scabbard / crossguard fit is nice and the patina matches perfectly. The solid nickel crossguards look good. The reverse of the lower fitting is stamped "BO". The beautifully grained hardwood grip is near perfect! There are no flakes, splits or chips. The grip / crossguard fit is absolutely great. The beautifully detailed solid nickel eagle has a perfect fit and is lightly worn. The roundel also has a perfect fit and retains 100% of its enamel. Overall a beautiful body with a bright blade!
