A Rare Early Model 1933 Sturmabteilung Dienstdolch by Julius Ohliger of Solingen. This one rates 9 out of 10 for rarity on McSaar's SA rarity ratting and truly I believe it’s rarer than that as this is the only one I’ve ever owned! The blade on this one is gorgeous! The acid etched “Alles für Deutschland” motto and “Julius Ohliger Solingen” maker mark are both dark, crisp and beautifully executed! The crossgrain is easily visible all the way from the hilt to the tip. The fit remains nice and tight and the tip comes to a perfect point. This blade rates a solid NM. It has the slightest spotting and the commonly seen surface scratches/runner marks throughout. The steel based brown anodized scabbard looks good. It has three pressure marks to the obverse. The solid nickel scabbard fittings look great. A few surface srcateches. The ball remains perfectly round and all four scabbard screws remain tightly intact. The scabbard / crossguard fit is perfect and closes with a snap! The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked “Wm” (Westmark). The dark brown hardwood grip looks good. There is one crack towards the top portion that runs from the front to the back along with a few flake chips and the common pressure marks throughout. The grip to crossguard fits are perfect, just the way you want to see them! The solid nickel eagle retains beautiful details and has a perfect fit. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains 70%+ of its enamel. A quality rare example with a wonderful blade!
