Historical Classification: Early SA Service Dagger (1933–1935) & Group Mark “Wf”
The SA service dagger was introduced in late 1933 as the official sidearm of the Sturmabteilung (SA). Early examples from the period 1933–1935 are often characterized by high-quality workmanship, early grip and fitting features, and well-executed motto etching.
The group mark stamped into the lower crossguard served for organizational identification within the SA structure. The mark “Wf” represents the region Westfalen and is an important contemporary feature on early daggers.
Manufacturers such as Gustav Reinhold Grah, Solingen are considered comparatively scarce. The combination of a rare maker, early production period, matching group mark, and complete hanger makes such daggers desirable collector’s items.
