SA Dagger [Early Version] with Hanger by C. Rudolf Jacobs Solingen
Early SA service dagger of the Sturmabteilung (SA) from the production period 1933–1935, made by the rather scarce manufacturer C. Rudolf Jacobs, Solingen (collector rarity approx. 4 out of 5). The lower crossguard bears the group mark “He” for Hessen. Complete with an early SA leather hanger.
Grip: Brown wooden grip in early configuration. Fitted are the national eagle and, above it, the enameled SA emblem, both period-correct and clamped from the inside. Both crossguards are made of nickel. The lower crossguard is stamped on the reverse with the group mark “He” for Hessen.
Blade: Double-edged, bright blade with preserved crossgrain. The front side bears the SA motto in a deep, angular etch: “Alles für Deutschland”. The reverse shows the maker’s mark “C. Rudolf Jacobs Solingen”. The blade shoulders fit perfectly to the lower crossguard.
Scabbard: Iron scabbard with brown-blued finish. Straight scabbard without dents or bumps. Both fittings are made of nickel-plated sheet steel and are secured laterally with two screws each. The upper fitting carries the suspension ring for the hanger.
Hanger: Original early SA leather hanger in brown leather. A functional snap fastener is present. Early unmarked example with fittings in nickel silver.
Historical Context: Early SA service dagger 1933–1935 of the Hessen group
The SA service dagger was introduced in 1933 as a traditional and representative weapon of the Sturmabteilung (SA). Early production examples from 1933 to 1935 are often distinguished by high-quality materials, a deeply etched motto “Alles für Deutschland”, and precise workmanship in grip, blade and scabbard.
One of the important collector features is the group marking on the lower crossguard. The marking “He” refers to the SA group Hessen. Such regional marks allow an organizational attribution of the dagger and are especially appreciated among collectors.
A notable point of this example is the rather scarce maker C. Rudolf Jacobs, Solingen. Manufacturers of this rarity level are encountered far less often than the major standard producers. Together with the well-preserved blade showing crossgrain, the matching brown-blued scabbard and the correct early SA leather hanger, this forms a very harmonious and collector-attractive piece.
