The SA dagger was originally produced in vast quantities by 123 different cottage makers. Initially these daggers were made with the highest quality, being produced out of hand-fitted nickel fittings, hardwood grips and brown anodized or "blued" scabbards.
The blades were etched, "Alles für Deutschland" ("All for Germany"). Pre-1935 SA daggers were stamped with the SA group stamp to the reverse of the lower crossguard. Later examples were RZM marked and used less expensive plated zinc-based fittings with painted scabbards. An Early Model 1933 Sturmabteilung Dienstdolch by E Pack.
The acid etched "Alles fur Deutschland" motto and "E.P. & S. Solingen" (Pack Ernst & Söhne) maker mark are nicely executed! The solid nickel silver crossguards look great as well.
The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked "Nm" (Nordmark ).
The scabbard has some oxidization wear, and it remains completely dent free! Overall it's a great example by a common maker and one you can't go wrong on! A&N
