Rare Maker SA by CAM – D966

This is an excellent early SA, which was manufactured by a scarce manufacture which hits the charts at a 10 on the rarity scale. Not only that, it’s a beautiful dagger with some extras too boot. Have a peek!

Part of the allure collectors have to these early SA’s is the beautiful handles that some of these edged weapons are equip with. And I must admit that the grip to dagger falls into that category as you can see for yourself. The dark smooth wood is in good condition. It does have a couple imperfections and a hairline on the obverse / reverse, which honestly does not detract all that horrible, considering the rare maker of it. That aside, there are several areas of almost black grain which graces this grip both obverse and reverse. It’s such a striking visual appearance that is hard to actually describe. But from the photos you can see what I mean. In the center of the obverse is a nickel silver eagle that is toned with a super dark patina that has settled over it’s surface. The details and features of the bird are absolutely outstanding. Near the top crossguard, the same is true of the SA runes emblem. Though heavy with an undisturbed patina as well, the silvering and enamel remains in excellent condition. The nickel silver crossguards which hold this hilt firm are in good condition. While their surfaces show a little age here and there, it’s not all that challenging for such an untouched dagger as this piece is.

As far as the scabbard to this nickel silver SA goes, it’s certainly remains in decent shape. The shell is straight throughout, being void of any major hits, creases, bends, or splits. The anodizing is strong on both the obverse and reverse, considering this is quite an early edged weapon that was no doubt worn often by it’s owner. Both upper and lower nickel fittings show the light surface age from being carried during the infamous era, and remain uncleaned like all of the other components of this edged weapon. As a nice bonus this scabbard is equip with an early triple hanger. Definitely a nice extra for sure!

We finish up with the blade. It remains straight, void of any sharpening, buffing, tipping, or cutting edge chips. The obverse projects a wonderful period factory luster, with a fine line crossgrain from crossguard to tip. On the reverse there is a spot where probably some moisture may have been on the surface. It’s not all that detracting considering the rarity of this maker, but basically the untouched condition of this entire early M33 SA. Take a look at that beautiful dark burnished Alles fur Deutschland motto! It’s about as nice as they come. On the reverse is the trademark of the firm rarely seen associated with these introductory Stormtrooper daggers. That being the logo of the Carl Aug Meis edged weapon firm; CAM.

Ya got the triple hanger. Ya got a stunning grip. Ya got the rare maker. And ya got an excellent dagger.   SOLD
