German SA M-1933 Officer's Dagger 'Daniel Peres'
In a very stunning near mint condition a very nice M-1933 Sturmabteilung Officer's Dagger (Dienstdolch).
This example is made by Daniel Peres from Solingen (Rare maker!!).
The grip is near perfect as far as these daggers go, with only light traces of use.
The SA roundel shows light loss of enamel.
The grip eagle is the aluminum type (correct) and shows no wear to the normal areas of the wreath and wings.
The upper and lower guards are the nickle silver version (which is correct) and both show no level of wear.
The lower crossguard is SA Region marked with 'Wm' indicating use by a member of SA-Gruppe Westmark!
At the top of the grip the pommel nut shows no signs of tampering, and no swirl marks on the upper surface of the guard either.
The blade has on the front the motto in a light gray tone and surface of the blade is virtually flawless, save the typically scabbard runner marks that we see on all SA daggers.
On the reverse we see the same condition, with the maker mark near the base of the blade in the same gray tone as the motto.
The scabbard comes in a matching condition with the rest of the dagger. The brown painted scabbard body shows some minor use scratches, but has managed to retain almost all of the original paint.
The fittings show the same tone as the guards and are virtually without flaw. This includes the tip ball, which shows a small dent. All fitting screws are secure and show no signs of tampering.
In another word this is a very nice early example of an original M33 SA Officer's Dagger and comes with the original attached hanger!
One of the best SA daggers we have had for sale!
