SA Dagger [Early Version] by J.P. Sauer & Sohn Suhl

Early example of an NSKK Service Dagger (National Socialist Motor Corps), manufactured between 1933–1935 by the renowned maker J. P. Sauer & Sohn, Suhl (est. 1751). The reverse of the lower crossguard bears the original group marking “Fr” for Franken. A fully authentic, pre-RZM production piece of exceptional quality.

Grip: Brown wooden grip with inlaid Nickel eagle and enamelled SA insignia, both tightly set and internally pinned. Upper and lower crossguards made of solid nickel. The reverse of the lower crossguard is hand-stamped with the “Fr” group mark for Franken.

Blade: Double-edged and well-preserved, free of rust or chips. Front side deeply etched with the SA motto “Alles für Deutschland” (“Everything for Germany”). Reverse marked with the J. P. Sauer & Sohn, Suhl logo and the inscription “Gegr. 1751”. The blade shoulders fit precisely into the lower guard – a hallmark of early craftsmanship.

Scabbard: Iron NSKK scabbard with original black lacquer/brunished finish, evenly preserved and undamaged. Both scabbard fittings are made of nickel-plated steel, fastened with small side screws. Upper fitting with closed ring for the suspension hanger. A clean, honest example with fine original patina.

Historical Context: The NSKK Service Dagger

The NSKK Service Dagger was the official dress dagger of the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK), symbolizing loyalty, discipline, and membership within the organization. It was directly derived from the SA dagger design and adopted around 1934–1935 with a distinctive black scabbard to match the NSKK uniform.

Early examples such as this piece by J. P. Sauer & Sohn, Suhl were produced before the introduction of RZM control. These early daggers are characterized by their high-quality nickel fittings, deep acid-etched motto, and regionally stamped crossguards — here marked “Fr” for the NSKK group Franken.

Today, pre-RZM NSKK daggers remain highly sought after by collectors, representing the finest level of craftsmanship from the early Solingen period.
