Average condition IMO, but the blade seems to be
excellent. I cannot tell the colour of the scabbard
- black or brown ?
Were these pics taken with a phone camera.........?

Steve,
Yes phone camara. Sorry that's all I got. Took me many tries even to get this low quality.
There is NO color to the scabbard. It is completely devoid of paint, or any other coating. Blade is in nice shape however.
As it was free (along with a nice RAD Hewer) i'm not worried but was just curious.

Can't beat free !
It's an early dagger. I don't know how common
or rare this maker is. Quick scan of the internet
shows quite a few.........

Yes, free is good. :-)
It looks solid but the scabbard has me puzzled.

Early of the early makers..a quality dagger..which is common..a 3 on the SA rarity list. You done well for free. When you get some time take some better photos..with no flash..preferably outside on an over cast day or indoors with indirect lighting. The scabbard appears to have some thinning of brown anodizing. Makes it an SA dagger
Gruppe mark is correct and the blade is near mint to mint. Congrats on a very early maker..in decent condition..minus the scabbard anodizing. cool militariia Regards Larry

Free SA daggers, and then an Original early is Always great!!
August Merten gave good attention to it grips, the early ones often show softer ridges.
The enemal in the SA button is caramel brown, like that.
Here a picture of a Merten i once owned, this is how the scabbard looks like with its brown anodation and lacquer still on it.
Cheers,

Larry,
A few quick questions.
1) "3 on rarity list", is that 3 of 10 with 1 being the most rare?
2) When we say early, how early approx? (I'm no expert an SA Daggers). Are there different patterns? (I know this is not a ground Rohm.).
3) If the scabbard was black, what does that make it?
Better pics coming as soon as we have an overcast day........
Thanks!
