Unfortunately your dagger is not consistent with the type of craftmanship mostly seen with this distributor.
The quality and details used on by this distributor points to an unknown Suhl producer.
Sorry to say your dagger is assembled with period fittings and is not a whole authentic Haco dagger except the blade.
Give a read through of the link provided above and note the details and differences compared to the example you have posted.

Thank you for your opinion Larry, really appreciate it.
Clearly you know a lot about daggers.
I was wondering if there are daggers without these one letter markings on crossguard, not particularly HACO made SA, but in general SA daggers.
There are some that have not been stamped and may have been an oversight by the Gau district who applied them after they were received before distribution. Nothing wrong with unmarked lower guards but most commonly on early SA daggers there will be a district stamp.
The stamping practice ceased after 1935 when the RZM took full control of production and quality standards and all lower guards were unmarked from that point until the end production year of 1942-43
Haco was soley a Berlin " B " distribution but the SA district Franken "Fr" also has been observed.
Best Larry
