11/22/22 - This is an original SA Dagger by E. Pack & Sohne. The dagger has a fairly clean, shiny blade in great overall condition. There's no signs of sharpening along the edge, and cross graining is visible on each side. There is some spotty discoloration and mild speckling on the blade, as well as surface scratches and scabbard wear. The cross guard is SA Gruppe stamped "Nrh" on one side. The cross guard and pommel are in great condition with mild patina. Early nickel with early style emblems on the wood handle. No cracks or chips in the wood handle. The scabbard is the earlier brown anodized metal style, with thinning throughout and a few mild dings in the metal. The hanger is in good condition with some mild surface wrinkling and maker stamped by Assmann.
