UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons SA & NSKK Dagger Forum Black Grip SA

Great dagger Vern. I have such a dagger by Konejung. It is gruppe marked but the specific mark escapes me. It has a thin coat of black paint on the grip and scabbard, done almost haphazardly. A modern collector or dealer would have done a car better job and the paint has definitely been on there a long time.

As far as purpose, I’ve always thought it was indicative of an early Marine SA dagger. The possibility of an early NSKK piece is also possible I’d say.
