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. Fine overall condition dagger. Blade is in fine condition with typical wear.  Early 1933 variation made by August Bickel - Steinbach Hallenberg.  Anodized finished scabbard is very good with moderate loss of finish and the fittings are fine; sight dent on bottom of button. The SA gruppe mark is 'Mi' for District Mitte. Sheath is in great shape and everything is on tight. Hanger is still maleable and in good condition.A&N119
