UBB.threads Forums The GDC Bazaar Wanted Forum J. Hack SA Dagger

My spiritual adviser and the greatest expert on SA daggers is on the lookout for this dagger for me, but i thought i would supplement hisw search with a post on the forum. Looking for a decent early Hack SA dagger to replace the one I have, which is pretty rough.

Mike - There a "J. Hack" ??

Dave:

Josef Hack is a rare producer of SA's under the maker mark Hack-Werk Steyr.

I have two Luft2s by that maker.

John

John,

Agree, they did make Luftwaffe daggers after Austria became part of Germany in 1938. Perhaps Army as well.

But they were not a maker of early, trademarked, SA daggers. Those stopped in 1936 or so.

Here is another version of the Hack-Werk trademark, again on a Luftwaffe

They made a transitional SA, and later an RZM SA, but I don't think that is what Mike is looking for

John

Here is another shot of that first trademark,from another I took apart. If you need other component shots from that piece I can send them.

I thought I had pics of an Army Hack, but maybe not. Do you?

Dave

Dave:

I have both versions you show on Luft2s (I collect Luft2s by maker mark variation). Both versions came from Bob Rodgers about 5 years ago.

John

BTW, Dave, you show the TM of RZM 7/104, which is Zeitler Wien, whereas Hack is RZM 7/103.


John

John, how many different 2nd Lufts by maker do you have? Mike

Mike:

If I ignore my unmarked blade and my etched and Damascus and artificial Damascus blades and my post war B&A, I have 74 different maker marks on plain or plated bladed Luft2s.

And, I know that I still have more to find.

The are all here:
