This SA [Sturmabteilung] Dagger in NEAR MINT condition. Model 1933. Early Nickel fittings, lower guard with «Fr» stamp. The Dagger has the rare maker mark on the blade: Süddeutsche Messerfabrik Gefrees. The total length is 37.2 cm.

Grip: The High Ridge construction grip is in perfect condition. The SA runes button is nicely placed and retains perfect enamel. The nickel grip eagle is the style with a slightly upturned beak. This bird retains full detailing throughout the head, breast and wing feathering, talons and wreathed mobile swastika. The nickel crossguards are in beautiful condition throughout, and the tang nut looks to have been out only once or twice. The lower reverse crossguard is Gruppe marked «Fr» Franken.

Blade: The blade of this dagger is mirror-bright, with all of the original crossgrain and a needle-like tip. The SA motto is crisp, deep, and dark. The reverse ricasso is etched with the rarely seen trademark “Süddeutsche Messerfabrik Gefrees”. The blade shoulders perfectly meet the lower crossguard contour.

Scabbard: The scabbard mounts are in choice condition through to the lower ball, retained by the four original and nickel screws.
