Germany, SA. A Sturmabteilung (SA) Model 1933 Dagger by Aesculap AG

(Sturmabteilung Dolch). A well-preserved Sturmabteilung (SA) Model 1933 Dagger, measuring 375 mm in length when inserted into the scabbard. The dagger features a 220 mm-long nickel-plated magnetic metal blade with a sharpened tip and semi-sharpened edges. The obverse bears an acid-etched inscription of “ALLES FÜR DEUTSCHLAND” (“EVERYTHING FOR GERMANY”) in Fraktur script, with patination that provides a striking contrast with the surrounding nickel plating. The reverse is etched with a maker’s mark of “AESCULAP, TUTTLINGEN”, circumscribing the company’s logo of a Rod of Asclepius. The blade sits firmly within the nickel-plated upper crossguard, the reverse of which is marked with a SA district mark of “SW” for Südwest. The crossguard also bears eight notches, with four at both the top and bottom. The handle consists of a brown lacquered wooden grip, with the seam of the crossguard showing no apparent shrinkage from age. Inset into the obverse is a silvered metallic SA-style German national eagle insignia, measuring 26 mm (w) x 14 mm (h). Also inset into the handle is a magnetic insignia in the form of a SA logo, measuring 10 mm in diameter. The dagger completes with a nickel-plated lower crossguard, similarly bearing eight notches. The structure is securely held together by a silvered pommel nut. Accompanying the dagger is its original scabbard, constructed of a brown-painted magnetic metal shaft. The tip bears a non-magnetic silvered adornment held in place by dual rivets. The throat also bears a non-magnetic silvered adornment, similarly secured in place by dual rivets. It has an integrated loop with a suspension ring for the accommodation of a dagger hanger. The throat retains a functional spring catch, securely holding the dagger in place during storage. While well-preserved, the dagger displays signs of age and use, including loss of finish to the silvered features, running marks on the blade, scratching and material fatigue of the handle, blunting of the scabbard tip, and friction of the throat piece rendering scabbard removal and insertion difficult. An example of a dagger by an uncommon maker in an overall very fine condition.
