Early SA Dagger by Pack – D1026
There is something to be said about the attraction to an untouched uncleaned relic that some collectors just love. For those in that purest group, here is one such dagger in this listing.
One look at this SA tells the viewer everything they need to know about this edged weapon, and it begins at the hilt of this early Storm Trooper’s dagger. The coarse grain wood grip to this E. Pack is in very good condition. It is laden in light and dark colors ranging from reds to browns. As shown in the photos, the wood is void of any flakes, or missing chips. Typical for this edged weapon firm, a high neck nickel eagle has been utilized and shown expertly set flush into the obverse. At the top of the grip the SA runic is in good shape though displays some light surface wear. The crossguards are green and untouched and a perfect fit to the grip.
The scabbard to this SA is just like the hilt, untouched. It is straight, and void of any hits, splits, bends, or dings besides the bottom ball fitting. Though the anodizing of the shell is dull and oxidized, it still covers the shell pretty decently. for such a green piece. Both upper and lower nickel fittings are in good shape, and have taken on the same greenish patina as the hilt fittings. 4 period dome head screws hold the hardware in place and tight to the shell.
The blade to this dagger in spite of displaying some surface spotting, is not all that bad. Considering the totally un-touched and uncleaned condition that this dagger exhibits. Even at that, this blade remains straight, full length, void of any sharpening, buffing, tipping, or cutting-edge chips. A prominent fine line crossgrain is evident throughout the blade. A beautiful acid etched Alles fur Deutschland motto contrasts the forged steel on the obverse. Finally, the wood chopper Siegfried logo known well to 3rd Reich edged weapon enthusiasts is shown etched on the reverse.
For the purest, an early Pack SA. SOLD
