SA Dagger [Early Version] with Hanger by HACO Berlin
Early SA service dagger of the Sturmabteilung (SA) from the production period 1933–1935, manufactured by HACO, Berlin. The lower crossguard bears the group mark “B” for Berlin. Complete with early SA leather hanger.
Grip: Brown wooden grip in typical early configuration. Fitted are the nickel 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 hand-stamped on the reverse with the group mark “B” for Berlin.
Blade: Bright, double-edged blade with preserved crossgrain. On the front is the SA motto “Alles für Deutschland”. The reverse bears the maker’s mark “HACO Berlin”. The blade shoulders fit cleanly and precisely against the lower crossguard.
Scabbard: Iron scabbard with original blued finish. The scabbard is free from dents or bumps. The two fittings are made of nickel-plated sheet steel and are each secured laterally with two screws. 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. The snap hook is unmarked.
Historical Context: Early SA service dagger 1933–1935 of the Berlin group
The SA service dagger was introduced in 1933 as a traditional and representative weapon of the Sturmabteilung (SA). Early production examples from the years 1933 to 1935 are especially sought-after by collectors, as they often still retain the typical material quality and construction of the initial production period.
An important feature of these early pieces is the group mark on the lower crossguard. The marking “B” present here refers to the Berlin group. Such regional markings are especially interesting to collectors because they allow a more precise organizational attribution of the dagger.
The maker HACO, Berlin also adds collector interest to the piece. Combined with the characteristic motto “Alles für Deutschland”, the preserved crossgrain, the original blued scabbard and the early SA leather hanger, this results in a coherent and attractive collector’s item.
