Sorry for the poor photos but you get the idea. The District mark is OST which you don't see too often.

Your "one and only" is a nice one!

Thanks, I have this SA and a Boker GR SS as well. Not a dagger collector but wanted one of each in my collection.

Very nice. Would be a great addition to any collection..

I love hearing these one and only stories,, they are the best because its not the size of the collection but the ownership of a piece of History from a time period ,,we as collectors love to study. It just doesnt get any better than that. Very Nice example Erich!! Having one... is better than not having at all.
Best Larry

Thanks Larry, I only wanted an EM SA and SS in the best condition possible for my collection. With a JA Henckels and a Boker I couldn't go wrong!

Your Henckels SA is in great condition and the coppery scabbard anodizing is the best,, but I would like to see your Boker SS also Im sure it is quite a beauty in itself,, could you post a few photos in the SS forum? Larry

I'll do that in the next few days Larry. Thanks!

Very nice SA dagger. The hanger is very cool also.

Very good makers choice.

Thanks 777, my plan was if I was only going to own one of each dagger these are the makers that I wanted due to their quality.

Interesting to note that both of these manufacturers are still in business, and Boker is actually reproducing the SS and SA daggers. (Without insignia, of course.)

Do you have a link?

Hi Erich! Always a pleasure Erich, to see stuff from your (almost!) "museum"! Thanks!!



Hi Dose! Yup, I think DTS means this and this. In the US also sold, like here. And Henckels (company) here.

Bye,
KR

Thanks for the links! I use Henckels cutlery at home great knives. I had no idea about Bokers SA/SS style daggers being made.

Other than the quality of both Boker and Henckels, I kinda liked the idea that both were still in business when I decided on which SA ans SS daggers to buy for my collection.

WOW,did you see the price of the new one's? You can find some original daggers for that price! Kevin.
