They are made with a round ball on the end......

( I have a couple that are split at the seam a bit too, but they were bashed
or dropped at some point to make them look like this. I hammered mine
out to near round again. )

Regards, Steve.

here it is?see the seam,i dont know maybe it was hit on a table?

If the scabbard is black it is a 'NSKK' (Motorcorps) model.
Brown is SA, and were either painted or anodised.

Still a great dagger ......................!

Nice early SA dagger.

It has been dropped, which is a common thing to see.

Cheers, Ade.

Dagger's scabards with smashed balls is a very common damage, they frequently droped on the floor and was damaged. Here is mine for example.

My grandfather would tell me stories of how they would use their daggers to bang on beer hall tables, and that would cause the ball on the end to flatten out.

He said they would do it to call the bar maid for more beer, or when they would sing songs, or at rally's to make noise.
