Rare WWII Nazi German dagger M33, SA Sturmabteilung, Karl Tiegel, Riemberg.

Rare WWII Nazi German dagger M33, SA Sturmabteilung, Karl Tiegel, Riemberg. Model 1933 Service Dagger, measuring 37.5 cm in total length when inserted into the scabbard. It features a steel blade with a sharpened tip and edges. Acid-etched onto the obverse of the blade is an inscription of “ALLES FÜR DEUTSCHLAND” (“EVERYTHING FOR GERMANY”) in Fraktur script. Maker marked by RZM 7/81/38 (Karl Tiegel, Riemberg, 1938) which is a very uncommon and rare manufacturer. The blade sits within a crossguard which is marked with eight notches, distributed in groups of four at both the top and bottom. A single piece of lacquered brown wood compositions the handle grip, and is carved into a curvature for a comfortable grip. Inset into the obverse of the handle is a German national eagle clutching a wreathed swastika and Sturmabteilung (SA) measuring insignia. It is accompanied by its original scabbard, constructed of a brown-painted iron. Nickel fixtures are secured to both the tip and throat, with the latter retaining a loop for the accommodation of a hanger. The throat also retains a functional spring catch to firmly hold the dagger in place during storage. A rare opportunity for collectors of items from the Third Reich to add an SA dagger of such a rare manufacturer. Length 37.5 cm. Good condition.
