Im no expert but it looks good to me, i am guessing an early variant too.
Sure the real experts will confirm this.
To bad the tip of the blade is broken off otherwise it looks good. You didn't say what you paid but I guess it was a good price.
A shame...it Used to be a nice Helbig. Even had a nice blonde grip. Sadly, about all it's good for now is parts. The Hanger is nice..

This is a great early SA dagger with a rarely seen producer logo..along with the early 1st type Hanger device. The hard paart is the tip was broken off....yet IMO ..I would still have it in my collection as a filler until a whole blade example makes itself available. The grip has a crack in it..and I hope you paid a good price for it. I like it..because of the producer. JMORegards Larry
It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

Hi Dudley, thanks for sharing such a rare example.
Nice blonde grip there.
Whitty can fix that blade for you.
Whitty-as in Wittman's militaria? Anyone had one done or know how much to repair the tip? I would be interested in repairing it and keeping it. In this condition, I think a repair would only enhance the value, at least some. I'm into it cheap. Here's the thread with the 3 items I scored. Rummage sale scores. Daggers and dress bayonet
I have $350.00 US in the lot.
Yup...Wittman's Militaria. He does nice work.
