Where was this dagger sent?

[JasonS]

It is my understanding that the markings on the crossguards of some SA daggers meant thats the district in Germany that the manufacturer sent them to for sale. If this is true, can anyone provide a list ,or reference point, of codes and relating areas for them?

For instance, what area was my EP&S dagger for?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It actually stands for the SA group to which the owner of the dagger was attached--yours is Nrh for Niederrhein.

Thank you for the clarification and the help Erich. Where did you find that info from?

Hello Jason,
I think the letter abbreviations are listed in the Johnson dagger book volume 1, the old Angolia dagger book, and probably more places.
