SA Dagger [Early Version] with membership number 16/3244 by C. Remscheid & Co. Solingen
Early SA service dagger of the Sturmabteilung (SA) from the production period 1933–1935, made by the rather scarce manufacturer C. Remscheid & Co., Solingen – REMEVE (collector rarity approx. 4 out of 5). The lower crossguard bears the group stamp “No” for Nordsee as well as the membership number 16/3244. 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 “No” (Nordsee) and additionally bears the membership number 16/3244.
Blade: Double-edged, mirror-bright blade with 100% preserved crossgrain. The front side shows the SA motto in a deep, angular etch: “Alles für Deutschland”. The reverse bears the maker mark “C. Remscheid & Co. Solingen - REMEVE”. 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 with “No” group mark and membership number
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 characterized by high-quality materials, a deeply etched motto “Alles für Deutschland”, and period-correct details in grip, crossguards and scabbard.
A key collector feature is the group stamp on the lower crossguard, which allowed organizational attribution within the SA. The marking “No” is associated with the group Nordsee. In addition, this example bears the membership number 16/3244, making it particularly interesting among early production pieces and suggesting a more personal association.
Especially noteworthy is the scarce maker C. Remscheid & Co. Solingen – REMEVE. Makers of this rarity level are encountered much less frequently than the standard producers. Combined with the mirror-bright blade, fully preserved crossgrain, the well-preserved brown-blued scabbard and the matching early leather hanger, the dagger presents a very appealing and coherent collector’s set.
