Early Nickel Silver Stormtrooper’s Dagger by Kober – D1199
Without a doubt, the trademark of the Centaur is by far my favorite logo of any manufacture of 3rd Reich SA’s during the period, which was utilized by the Kober edged weapon firm from the Suhl district.
The gorgeous grip on the hilt of this dagger is absolutely stunning. Laden with dark and light vertical grain, it projects a striking effect. It remains in near perfect condition, being void of any splits, cracks, chips, or missing wood. The grip emblems consisting of a nickel silver high neck eagle and SA runes button are in wonderful condition, covered with a a dark patina over their surfaces. And talk about patina, look at the hardware on this hilt! It exemplifies the word untouched!
A wonderful scabbard accompanies this Kober SA dagger. This shell is straight, void of any hits, splits, twists, dings, or anything else. The chemical oxide brown finish has survived beautifully, to include 95% of the protective surface lacquer. Through the upper fitting ring is the hanger that has been on this sheath forever.
As for the blade, all you need to do is to look at the photos. WOW!
An absolutely beautiful combination of components on this killer Kober SA dagger. SOLD
