Dave, here's a photo of the SS members showing an ancient eagle on the hilt of their daggers. The eagle is clearly visible in these photos. It was filmed in January 1934. These are the photographs and documents that I wrote about. Newspaper articles mentioning the rewarding of SS members by the SA headquarters on Christmas Day 1933. It is believed that the SA and SS Christmas daggers were at the same time. In addition to these photographs, there are many other photos, but they do not show the eagle in the hilt.
