An early SA M33 dagger by Justinuswerk, Solingen, preserved in very good condition.
The bright blade on this example is in excellent, almost perfect condition. The crossgrain shines beautifully in the light, while the crisply acid-etched “Alles für Deutschland” motto remains beautifully preserved. The Justinuswerk, Solingen maker’s mark is also extremely well defined and beautifully executed.
The blade shows only minor marks from the scabbard springs. The blade shoulders perfectly match the contour of the lower crossguard, and the tip comes to a perfect point. Overall, the blade rates near mint.
The crossguard is reverse-marked “BO,” indicating Bayerische Ostmark. All metal fittings retain their original nickel-plated finish.
The grip is in excellent condition, with no damage or cracks.
The scabbard retains part of its original finish. The lower scabbard cup, including the ball, retains its original shape without deformation, a particularly pleasing feature of this example. The scabbard also displays a natural patina consistent with its age.
An attractive early SA dagger by the well-known and desirable manufacturer Justinuswerk, Solingen, and a fine addition to any serious collection.
Condition: Excellent.
