An Early Model 1933 Sturmabteilung Dienstdolch by Robert Herder of Solingen—a company still in business to this day! While this maker is a 7 on the McSaar, this is only the second one we’ve owned and IMO it’s much rarer than that! The blade on this one is in excellent condition! The acid etched “Alles für Deutschland” motto and Windmühlenmesser “Robert Herder Solingen” maker mark are both dark, crisp and beautifully executed! The crossgrain is easily visible from the hilt to the tip. The fit remains nice and tight and the tip comes to a perfect point! This blade rates NM. It shows the common spotting and surface scratches throughout. The steel based brown anodized scabbard looks great. It shows some oxidization spotting throughout along with the odd scratch. It remains dent free and retains 75% of its original factory lacquer! The solid nickel-silver scabbard fittings look excellent matching the crossguards in color and patina! The ball retains a nice round shape and all four scabbard screws remain intact. The scabbard / crossguard fit is perfect and closes with a snap! The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked “Wm” (Westmark). The brown hardwood grip shows the shows nice grain and color. It has the odd pressure mark throughout and one flake chip. The solid nickel eagle retains beautiful details and has a perfect fit. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains 75%+ of its enamel. A very nice example…
