Marine-SA-Dagger [Early Version] by Carl Wüsthof Solingen
Rare early example of a Marine-SA Service Dagger (ca. 1933–1935), manufactured by
Carl Wüsthof, Solingen. Includes the original hanger as well as a
Siegert expertise. The lower crossguard carries the matching group mark “S”
for Silesia. A highly desirable and exceptionally scarce piece of early SA dagger production.
Grip: Wooden grip fitted with an inset national eagle and an enameled
SA roundel, both originally pinned and untouched. Upper and lower
crossguards made of solid nickel, fully gilded. The reverse of the lower
crossguard bears the group stamp “S” (Silesia). All fittings retain their
original, evenly preserved gilding.
Blade: Mirror-bright blade with clearly visible crossgrain. The obverse features the deep,
crisp motto “Alles für Deutschland”. The reverse is stamped with the
Carl Wüsthof Solingen maker mark. The blade shoulders fit precisely into the
lower crossguard – a typical characteristic of early-production pieces.
Scabbard: Iron scabbard with original brown factory finish, straight and free of dents.
The nickel-plated scabbard fittings are secured with two side screws each.
The upper fitting is equipped with a closed suspension ring for the hanger.
The finish shows a fine, evenly matured patina.
Hanger: Early-production brown leather hanger with fully functional
spring clip. The clip is stamped “D.R.G.M.” and “Asamman”.
All metal parts (buckle, clip, hook) are gilded and in excellent condition.
A complete and fully original carrying ensemble – extremely rare in this combination.
Historical Context: Marine-SA & Manufacturer Carl Wüsthof
The Marine-SA was a specialized branch of the Sturmabteilung, operating mainly
in coastal and harbor areas. Their service daggers share the general design
of regular SA daggers but often feature gilded fittings and distinct group stamps.
The manufacturer Carl Wüsthof, Solingen is among the rarer producers of early SA daggers.
Surviving examples of his work are scarce and distinguished by fine workmanship,
crisp motto etching, and high-quality nickel and gilt finishes.
Marine-SA daggers with fully original hangers, gilded fittings, and
documented early production attributes are considered premium collector pieces
within the field of Third Reich edged weapons.
