SA Dagger [Early Version] by Carl Julius Krebs Solingen

This SA [Sturmabteilung] Dagger in EXC++ condition. Model 1933. The total length is 37.1 cm. Early Nickel fittings, lower guard with "Sw" stamp. The Dagger has the maker mark on the blade: Carl Julius Krebs Solingen.

Grip: The grip of this example apparently was given a coat of varnish or lacquer. This grip appears to be in good condition beneath the coating and is a medium contour ridge constructed example of fruitwood. The grip perfectly fits the crossguards. The nickel grip eagle is the “high-necked” type. There is minor wear to the bird’s head and breast feathering as well as the talons but the details are still there. The wing feathering, wreath and swastika are still quite crisp.

Blade: The blade of this example is still grades at about Near Mint. The SA motto Alles für Deutschland «Everything for Germany» is deep. The trademark is the double circle type having the firm’s name and location, “Carl Julius Krebs Solingen”. The blade shoulders perfectly fit the crossguard contour.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is completely straight. The scabbard, all in all, is in a very fine condition. The scabbard mounts continue the theme of matching patination, and are both in excellent condition. These mounts are retained by the original screws.
