SA Dolch with inscription

[AndyC]

Hi all

This one is for sale on a Swedish auction site,
I have never seen the inscription "Dem Sturmfuhrerim Stab der Staffel der Kraftbootstandarte" before.

Just look at the design / dimensions / proportions of the grip and both crossguards Scabbard fittings are missing, too. That’s enough red flags

As I thought.
The bids are now up to 350 Euro..

A Boker SA, really? Just look at the curvature of the crossguard and coloring of the grip, really a piss poor attempt at fakery.

Crossguards are copy, etching is 100 % fake. Not one cent for this peace.

How can you tell that the inscription is fake?

Shallow, weak etch, particularly on be reverse. Also the fact Böker didn't manufacture SA daggers doesn't help.

I contacted the seller but he refering to the book German Daggers of World War2, Thomas M.Johnson and says that this dagger is fine....

back to basics, Sturmführerim is written together, it should be Sturmführer im with a space ... image_4735708.jpg

Got it! I see now. Thanks. Were blades acid etched, or by hand?
