    Default My first SA Dagger

    Hello everyone, just bought this dagger today. Its my first Third Reich Dagger and I have bought it to display with my SA brown shirt. and I would be grateful for comments from my forum colleagues who are familiar with these things. Inparticular I would like to know if all the parts appear original and belong together (it looks good to me) and I would also like to know when it was made. Presumably it was made after 1934 as there is no sign of a Rohm dedication. Any help on this appreciated, and any other comments welcome, Doug.

    Hi Doug,


    Sorry to say but the scabbard has been repainted brown at some point, should be anodised brown with a clear lacquer finish origionally, blade is a little grey but not to bad.

    Hi Mac, thanks very much for your help. This came from Regimentals who as you will no doubt know is a dealer of repute and I am very surprised to find there is a problem, but I am grateful for your help.

    Can you just clarify for me, are all SA scabbards originally anodised? I was under the impression later manufactured ones were painted.

    I agree-the sheath has been repainted, but just when and by who is impossible to say. It may even be a period repaint, as this was done when the anodizing would flake. Other than that, it's a decent J.P. Sauer. I like it.

    Thanks William. I would be grateful for more detail about how you know it's repainted-is it that the paint is wrong or is it that these daggers shouldn't have painted scabbards at all? As this was not cheap I will presumably need to get my money back as I imagine I have over paid (£550).

    The paint finish is well done and slightly bubbled and flaked and I think it was not done recently.

    Hi Doug,


    Early SA daggers like yours left the factory with an anodised scabbard with solid nickle fittings, later RZM marked only SA daggers left the factory with brown painted scabbards with steel fittings nickle plated, if i were you i would return the dagger asap for a refund , you can find a nice unmessed with early SA dagger with a much nicer blade with origional anodised scabbard for that money > £550 or less


    we will keep you right for your 1st SA dagger purchase so post pix before you buy mate



    Cheers Mac 66.

    Thanks very much for your help. I really did believe, obviously naively, that Regimentals (who have been in business since 1969) would have sufficient expertise on these relitively commonplace items to be able to describe them correctly. They must have handled literaly hundreds of SA daggers in that time.
