This past week I stopped by my favorite Pawn Shop and noticed this SA Dagger while purchasing two Japanese Bayonets. I started thinking about it after I left and thought it would be nice addition to my other WW1 & WW2 German artifacts. I called the owner and he sent me a few pictures, which looked a little rough so I decided to go back for another look yesterday.
From what research materials I found it looks to be an early Puma Solingen Dagger, Gruppe stamped "No" with what I believe are all solid nickle fittings. The Handle is pretty beat up, with nicks and small chips, but no cracks. Wood has shrunk some and is a bit loose. I am just a newbe as far as Dagger's go and would appreciated members input. I have purchased several C&R Firearms and bayonets items from this shop and have built a friendship with the owner, they are asking $499.00 for it but he will sell it to me for $350. Do you feel this is a fair price.
Sorry, couldn't attach the Pic of the Mfg. Stamp, Diamond with Puma Head and Puma within the Diamond under the head. Solingen underneath Diamond.
Hello and welcome to the forum.
From what I can see in the photos ..it has issues of condition and would be best once you are approved for entry ( which will be shortly ) please post the photos in this SA dagger sub forum for further examination and discussion.
