Here is one that I have not looked at for a long, long time. Actually this is the only SA dagger I have and i think this is only the 2nd time I have had it out since I bought it about 5 or 6 years ago. I had forgotten how nice it was. Not a very common maker I believe. This dagger was never cleaned as can be seen from the dull nickel finish although I did renwax the blade before putting it in my cabinet. the colour of the nickel is actually green but this doesn`t show very well with my camera. Nice burnish in the MM and motto I think. Blade is nice with a little grey here and there and the cross grain is very light and hard to capture.

I`ve enjoyed looking at it again, I hope you do smile

War is when your government tells you who the enemy is.
Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.
