Hi

How about this salty SA dagger. Totally untouched since the war. The patina is divine, the dagger all most looks gilded.It is an August Bickel, Steinbach-Mallenberg.The low-placed nickel grip eagle is the "point-behind-the-head" variety. The lower reverse guard is Gau-stamped, "Fr" Franken. It's an anodized scabbard. The scabbard shell is straight throughout. The nickel scabbard fittings are in excellent condition throughout, to include the lower ball. There is a short hanger having leather showing much age.

Any opinions about this SA???

Very nice dagger with wonderful patina .Can we see the inscription ?

sorry missed that one. But here it comes.

That maker is usually very dark in the maker mark and the motto. It's a nice example, especially the scabbard, although the blade has been polished some. Respectable example.
