AN EARLY SA DAGGER BY JUSTINUSWERK.

Another nice example of an early SA dagger with one of the more unusual makers from this early time. There are approximately 220-250 early ‘cottage’ makers, which obviously include the bigger manufacturers like Eickhorn, SMF etc. An untouched piece which has not be cleaned in a long while. Has nice dull patina to all the solid nickel fittings. A perfect mid wood grip with no damage. SA button and nickel eagle. Lower crossguard is stamped with the Gau area He. The scabbard is very pleasant with original brown finish and 85% of the protective lacquer remaining. The lower scabbard ball is intact. Blade is very nice with good grey lettering. Blade surface has most crossgrain evident with some very light grey areas which will definitely clean to near mint.
Reverse riccasso has the Justinuswerk trademark of a shield with medieval axe head shown. This is rated as a 7/10 on the rarity scale.
