Early SA Dagger w/3-pc Hanger. J.P. Sauer & Sohn, Suhl, man holding staff inside double oval TM. Nickel-silver hilt fittings show light surface wear/age patina with lower reverse crossguard SA Group marked, "BO" (Bayerische Ostmark). Medium brown, oak grained wooden grip with superb, early production quality grip-to-crossguard fit shows light surface wear with minor surface pecking/depressions, but no hairline cracks, chips or damage, and with silver grip eagle and SA insert properly inset. Early, mirror polished blade grades EX++ showing light surface wear/runner marks and light gray shadowing/spotting on lower obverse/reverse where runners have rested against the blade, but no pitting or nicks to cutting edges. Deeply etched motto retains 100% of the light gray background frosting. Dent-free, steel scabbard retains approximately 98% of the brown anodization and portions of the lacquer with minor crazing. Nickel-silver scabbard fittings show light surface wear/age patina with only one faint depression to the underside of the lower ball. Scabbard screws are undamaged and appear to have never been removed. Brown leather 3-pc hanger grades EX+ showing light wear/age to leather, but no rips or tears and is complete with early nickel-silver buckle and unmarked early clip. Nice early Sauer example! EX+/EX++ (26077) $1,650.
