Herr Mann,

How could Rohm have made an SA dagger prior to 1933, when Hitler was not yet elected ? Confused
It is said, and there are reference evidence, that the first SA dagger was first officially sanctioned by the NSDAP in Decembre 1933.
No dagger were made prior to this date.
Unless I'm mistaken, these are the only facts that I have, and could not therefore have made an SA dedication blade.
