Yeah this dagger is a no go brother. Like Dave said, the lower crossguard has a Gruppe mark on it which is for SA daggers.
The maker mark and motto on the blade don't seem to be acid etched.
Are you able to return it?
When you want to get involved with SS daggers you should direct yourself to a reputable source/dealer.
