Sturmabteilung (SA) Dagger – rare maker Gustav Weyersberg
The SA played an important part in the rise of Adolf Hitler into power. Originally their primary purpose was to act as a protection squad for the Nazi rallies and all forms of meetings. They were instrumental in blindly following orders from the senior party members so as to intimidate Romanis, trade unionists and Jewish businesses.
This example of the issued SA dagger is maker marked Gustav Weyersberg – Solingen. It has a brown painted scabbard which is near perfect condition, just a few scuff marks – paint is original. All plated fittings are 98% intact with only very minor plate lifting – very small indeed. The wooden walnut handle is free from splits and chips. The SA lozenge has full enamel and the inset eagle is in beautiful condition. There is a dent to the scabbard ball, but hard to find one without this. The dagger fits nicely into the scabbard with no play at all. All 4 securing screws are present and tight but one may have been replaced, but same size as all the rest and does not distract. The blade motto “Alles fur Deutschland” is distinct but a little faded, remains sharp and and very nicely etched – blade in general is classed as good.
