Description:
This very nice mid-war period produced SA Dagger has nickel-plated fittings throughout. The crossguards and tang nut are nickel plated aluminum, and have about 90% of the plating intact, with some speckling and light patination in areas. There is not any major chipping or dents in the fittings, just the usual effects of age.

The grip is a fine product having a nice red mahogany tone in the surfaces and having medium center ridge construction. This grip is in very good condition with great grain, and fits the cross-guards like a glove. The symbol button is nicely set having fully intact enameling, and the plating intact with just a bit of verdigris. The details are still there to the eagle to include the beak, breast feathering, wing feathering, talons, wreath and mobile swas, with fully intact plating.

The scabbard shell is straight throughout and has good original chocolate brown paint. It has a little bit of crazing in the surfaces but overall it is still bright and rates at about 95%. The scabbard shell is equipped with fine matching nickel-plated aluminum alloy mounts. These mounts are in very good condition overall, with almost no denting to the lower ball. They nicely match the cross-guards and are complete with all four dome head screws.

The blade of this example is in excellent condition and has virtually all of its factory crossgrain. There is just a bit of oxidation speckling, as well as runner marks from the scabbard, and just a bit of roughness on the edge. The acid-etched Alles für Deutschland (Everything for Germany) SA motto is crisp, and still retains all of the factory darkening. The reverse ricasso is etched with a double circle with RZM logo in the middle over M7 / 14. This indicates Post-1941 manufacture by P.D. Lüneschloss.

The Reichszeugmeisterei, or RZM, was was based at the Brown House in Munich and NSDAP party headquarters in Berlin. The RZM ensured that the manufacturers of military items were consistent in design, quality of materials and other characteristics of the items. It also defined standards of design, manufacturing and quality and published an authoritative color chart for textiles. The M7 in the code stands for knives/daggers, contractor 14 stands for firm P.D. Lüneschloss of Solingen, the legendary "City of Blades" in Western Germany.

An excellent mid-war example of an SA dagger from a top maker.
