A quality Early Model 1933 SA Dagger (Sturmabteilung Dienstdolch) by a knife maker still in business today: J.A. Henckels of Solingen Zwillingswerk. The Gau mark on this one is rare as well! The blade on this one looks excellent. The acid etched "Alles für Deutschland" motto and "J.A. Henckels of Solingen Zwillingswerk" maker mark are both dark, crisp and beautifully executed! The crossgrain is gorgeous as you shine it in the light! The tip comes to a perfect point and the fit remains nice and tight! This blade rates a solid Exc++/NM. It shows minor age grey/spotting and surface scratches throughout. The scabbard is gorgeous! It is steel based and brown anodized with a factory lacquered finish that still remains 35% intact! It retains a wonderful brown finish and remains completely dent free! The solid nickel-silver scabbard fittings match the crossguards. The ball retains a perfect round shape and all four scabbard screws remain tightly intact. The scabbard / crossguard fit is near perfect and closes with a snap! The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked "OST" (Ostland), a rare gau mark! The brown hardwood grip looks great! It has a few chips and the common pressure marks. No flakes or cracks! The solid nickel eagle retains beautiful details and has a perfect fit. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains 96%+ of its enamel. A very nice piece!
