WWII German SA Service Dagger - The SA functioned as a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party. It played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Often called "brownshirts" for the colour of their uniforms; this distinguished them from the Schutzstaffel (SS).

The SA dagger represents one of the most affordable blades to collect. This is due to the fact that the daggers were produced in the millions since 1933 to the end of the war. During its life span, more than 200 manufacturers were known to produce the dagger.

A high end version known as the SA Honor dagger was produced.





The design of the service dagger consists of a small circular pommel. Metal fittings are found at each end of the handle, which is of wooden construction and in the shape that ressembles a Coke bottle. A small circle with the SA symbol is placed near the top. A silver eagle is placed at about the center point. The handle could be made of different types of wood.

The scabbard is of metal construction. Painted brown. It has silver fittings near the throat and tip. A suspension ring is found attached to the throat fitting. Screws are employed to secure the fittings to the scabbard.





The blade is of stilleto design. Double edge construction. It is not sharpened as the dagger was not intended for use in combat but rather for special occassions such as dinner parties, weddings, etc.

One side of the blade has the motton "Alles fur Deutchsland" which translates to "All for the Fatherland".
