I really hope this dagger will surface one day. But he was probably destroyed after the R�hm purge... No one that knows more...?

No one knows anything beyond a few sets of photos. The scabbard appears longer than any SA/SS dagger and the hanger is unique. I'd bet the blade was Damascus steel.
Probably used as a yard knife by some vet from Jersey City or Toledo or Allentown.

As I reading somewhere, it was said that Goering removed it when he was arrested and took it with him.

Yes - that would be about as big a find as any dagger I can think of. I'd bet the motto was "Deutschland Uber Alles" if it was not the normal SA motto.
Another that would be nice to find is that one Mussolini gave to AH but it was not unique enough (?) to offer 100% proof its the right one.
Any super-duper ones you are looking for?
