Not sure if I fully understand the question, but they were a recognized maker of SA daggers.

Sorry Skip, I think my question was some kind of indistinct.
I wanna know if Chromolit was a rare or common maker of SA's

Thanks,

They are considered somewhat uncommon. Using the McSarr rating formulated by a GD.Com member they are a 7 on a 1 to 10 scale.

It says that they are rare on the website! Nice blade at a reasonable price.

I know it sounds crazy Sam but there are more rare SA's than common ones.
With 250+ makers there are many many out there. That's what makes collecting these so fun.
Take Eickhorn which were by far the most prolific, it's estimated that they made 52000 SA's. Rare makers made 1 to 5 thousand. Say you have 200 rare makers, that's a lot of rare daggers! Let condition be foremost in your mind, then consider the maker. I would not add more than 10 or 15% to the value for a rare maker. Good luck with it!

Solid advice, Lake, as always. Condition will always trump rarity in a case like this. The only time relative scarcity adds value is when everything else is equal.

Pick out the best dagger you can afford condition-wise...then if it happens to be from one of the scarcer makers, that's just a plus.
