Looks like a real SA dagger to me with the third type of makers mark for that firm. The cross guard is on backwards, but that is no big deal.

Does it have a scabbard?

I got it like this.

Looks good to me, but if that scabbard is black, Its NSKK dagger, If brown scabbard SA.

Looks like a very nice NSKK congrats

I have a little concerns about the blade , may be the photos . Is it possible to show the tang ?
How is the fit throat to lower crossguard ? Are the scabbard fittings the same cast metal ?

Joining this forum is a good start. I would also invest in some reference books by some of the well known authors in what ever area of collecting intrests you. Asking lots of questions is wise too.

I dont know as much about daggers as I would like, but I am learning with help from my friends here.
