An early SA dagger M33 by Hugo Linder Deltawerk, in very good condition.
The bright blade on this example is in excellent, almost perfect condition. The crossgrain shines beautifully in the light, and the dark, crisp acid-etched “Alles für Deutschland” motto together with the maker’s mark — a maple leaf within a triangle, surrounded by the manufacturer’s name with “Solingen” at the bottom — are very well defined and nicely 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 “Nrh” (Niederrhein). All metal fittings retain their original nickel-plated finish.
The grip is in excellent condition with no damage or cracks. The scabbard has no dents; most of the original finish is still preserved, showing only minor signs of age and natural patina.
An attractive early SA dagger by the well-known and desirable manufacturer Hugo Linder Deltawerk, and a fine addition to any serious collection.
