Re: Haco Early SA Dienst Dolch
Thanks for sharing Larry, thats a fine looking dagger. That is too cool I have never seen a SA dagger in Coffin shaped box like that before. I love it! Being a Berlin produced dagger makes me wonder if it was taken by a russian or maybe a GI traded with a russian for it. Cheers, Robert

Re: Haco Early SA Dienst Dolch
HI Robert its hard to say if it was produced in Berlin,, but for a fact this maker soley made them for the Berlin SA.
Much assumption and prior discussions within the community of varied forums seem to pin point the producer to the Suhl region of Germany due to the crossguard aestetics and grip wood. The producer remains unknown.
Regards Larry

Re: Haco Early SA Dienst Dolch
That is interesting, I always thought daggers marked Berlin ment they were produced in Berlin. It seems I learn something new everyday. Cheers, Robert

Re: Haco Early SA Dienst Dolch
You will see many early SA daggers with various gruppe marks each designated to be distributed to that region of Germany. check out this link on gruppe marks SA Dienstdolch group markings
The dagger producers were contracted by the High leadership of the SA to make a certain quantity of daggers to be sent to that district. Upon the arrival to that district,, an SA mann or hired laborer with a tool punch,,, punched in the gruppe mark of that region to where the SA mann was to serve. Some SA collectors like to collect for the gruppe mark along with the logo itself. I encourage you to spend a little time in the SA forum and browse through some of the threads with early SA makers with gruppe marks. It will give you an insight to where in Germany that dagger was. There are a couple Gruppe marks that I like personally which one of them is "Wf" which stands for Westfalia ,and thats the region in which Himmlers castle was situated. Gruppe Mark "B" of course and its history......"Oe" for Austria ( Ostereich ) and the whole history surrounding that bad bunch of guys. There is alot to study which is exhaustive and rewarding when creating a display or teaching. Regards Larry
