The SA was the oldest paramilitary formation of the NSDAP and made its first
appearance in November 1921 at a rally in the Munich Hofbrauhaus. The SA
was composed mainly from members of the various Freikorps formations.
Herman Goring was the founder of the SA. His vision was to create a
military unit for the NSDAP.
The SA dagger was without doubt the most widely produced dagger of the third
Reich. Manufactured by every single RZM maker (over 100 of them).
All degrees of quality are present. From the exquisite to the very
poor. Approximatelly 5 million daggers were made between 1933 and 1944.
These are small abbreviations that were found in the lower langet of most SA
service daggers between 1933 and 1945.
