Mike,, I know you were wrestling a bit on whether to post this. Glad you did. You actually are doing a service to some of the new collectors.
What could this have taken you actually to do,,1/2 hr?, a real SA dagger button?
There are many that would carve a few embellishments on the side,,maybe a engraving in the band and put on the auctions. AND, there are some that would pay $100. or more for this with a good story!!
OR,,imagine a old blank with hallmarks, an SS button in there and skulls carved on the sides and maybe one of the dates from the HR engraved in band!,,they'd go nuts eek

Remember this topic new collectors! Mikes an honest guy showing showing what can be done with a simple drill press, old blank and dagger button.. I've said this many times,,value on any 'period hand carved - campaign made' ring,,,value? not much and IF you just have to have it try and pay as little as you can for it!

Buyers beware!

Mike,,Much thanks for showing and cool wearer for sure!
