This SA [Sturmabteilung] Dagger in EXC+ condition. Model 1939-1942. The total length is 37.8 cm. The Dagger has the RZM Code on the blade: RZM M7/13 (Arthur Schüttelhöfer ASSO, Solingen). Leather Hanger marked with RZM M5/74.

Grip: The grip on this example is one of the walnut types. It has extremely high ridge contours, the center ridge being almost sharp to the touch. The wood is most beautiful, with a close grain that runs throughout both sides. The SA runes button is perfectly placed and has no hits to the enamel. The aluminium grip eagle is a very fine example. The bird retains all of the detail; the head, breast and wing feathering, talons and wreathed swastika are all crisp. The grip is in perfect condition and fits the crossguards.

Blade: The blade of this example is in very good condition. The SA motto is nice and crisp. The reverse of the blade is matching etched on the ricasso with a double RZM circle with shading in the center. It is positioned above the code for the Arthur Schüttelhöfer ASSO, Solingen maker, «M7/13». The blade shoulders perfectly meet the lower crossguard contour.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is straight throughout. This shell has a fine brown coat of paint. The paint is still 98% and still has its fine factory newness to the color. The scabbard mounts are the nickel-plated steel variety. The mounts are retained by screws which still retain their nickel plating.
