RARE WW2 GERMAN ENGRAVED SA MARINE OFFICER’S DAGGER AND SCABBARD BY KLITERMANN & MOOG

Offered is an exceptionally rare, mid war produced S.A. Marine Officer’s dagger and scabbard. 2^nd pattern SA dagger that has been personalised with hand engraved details to the top and lower gilt cross guards, being repeated to reverse. Hardwood grip fits the crossguards beautifully and both eagle and roundel both sit firmly in the grip. Blade measures 22 cm and etched motto “Alles fur Deutchland” (All for Germany), is good and clear, being lightly polished. The reverse shows maker mark for Klittermann & Moog, Solingen along with the RZM stamp and stylised M 7/29 - 1942. Spear endpoint has been slightly rounded, most likely a personal touch as per the overall quality of the dagger.

The original owner of this dagger was presented this by his parents on him becoming an officer in the S.A. on the 19^th November 1942, as shown by the inclusion of the handwritten card which came with this dagger.
