Early SA Dagger by F. Dick

German WWII > Edged Weapons > SA and NSKK Daggers > Early Daggers

A Model 1933 Sturmabteilung Dienstdolch by F. Dick of Solingen. The bright blade on this one is a real beauty! The acid etched "Alles fur Deutschland" motto and "F. Dick" maker mark are both beautifully executed! They remain dark and crisp, providing a wonderful contrast to the bright blade! The fit is perfect! The crossgrain is stunning against the light! There are some runner marks. The blade rates a solid Exc+/Exc++. The tip is slightly dulled and it has ag grey throughout. The brown anodized undented scabbard looks good. It retains 25%+ of factory lacquer. There are some surface oxidization spots throughout. The ball has been bent to the back, all four screws remain intact! The scabbard / crossguard fit is near perfect. The solid nickel crossguards look excellent. The reverse of the lower crossguard is Gau stamped: "Sw" (Sudwest). The brown multi-toned lacquered hardwood grip is in good condition! It has a few pressure marks and a crack to the bottom and above the roundel. The solid nickel eagle is worn and has a perfect fit! The SA roundel has 100% of its enamel and also has a perfect fit! A nice example.
