Dai,

Bad news. The SA kept membership records by Gruppe or maybe other units (?) and if a guy moved from one geographical area to another he got a new number. Worse news - there was no master list like the SS and military maintained that has ever been found.

Try posting the number on all the forum in the SA sections and documents section. Maybe someone found his ID papers. Sorry for the bad news

This number on the dagger is most likely an individual „dagger number“, which has been allotted to this individual dagger. This has been done presumably on Brigade or Standarte level. In the SA group „Nordmark“ this can be observed more often than in any other SA group.

In the below picture you can see a „SA Ausweis“ [SA ID card] with such an allotted „Dolch-Nr“ [dagger no.]. The dagger no. is a different number than the number of the SA ID card and the NSDAP membership.

I’m not aware that lists of these allotted dagger numbers exist. The only chance to identify the owner of your dagger would be to find the matching SA ID card.

As you say, Dai, you never know. Find forums that specialize in documents.
