Hello,

my name is Ralf and i am a german collector. I only collect SA daggers. For the german people , i have made a website www.dienstdolch.de perhaps some collectors here speak a little bit german, so take a look on my site.

Nice

Although most of us cannot speak German, it's a very nice website even with the litte I understand. Very thorough and with some very nice and interesting pictures. Congrats. I too want to get one representative piece for my collection as I currently do not have an SA dagger.

Nice site Ralf, and welcome to our group. I urge you to become an association member. The $25.00 will be the best collector investment you can make,

Hello Ralf,
Großartig! Nice site. I'm curious, though, where you found the info on the early Marine dagger being dark colored, and the "Feldherrnhalle" dagger information. I've got a large amount of period research material and have found that the Marine SA only wore the standard dagger (brown/nickel) and that the FHH daggers may not have been so specifically related to the FHH. Were you able to find better documentation?
Thanks!
Erich

Groß, Sie hier zu sehen Ralf. Ich habe Messwert auf Ihrem Aufstellungsort. Sehr interessanter Netsite, den Sie verursacht haben. Wie ist er mit dem neuen SA-Buch auf englisch? Ich hoffe, dass Sie Zeit nehmen, einen Blick in meinen Schritt hier eines netten SA-Dolches mit Hochzeitsbeschreibungen und genanntem Dolch zu haben. Die ganze beste LH

I received the SA/NSKK dagger book a couple of days ago, and it's an excellent work. Mostly color photos, great b/w period photos, and original patent design drawings and forms for the dagger, modifications, and numerous designs for improved hanging devices (although most were deemed forbidden to be used by the OSAF other than the standard strap hanger with retaining strap). My only complaint would be the lack of documentation for some of the 'collector's lore' presented as fact--e.g. the black/silver and brown/gilt alleged special daggers for the Marine SA (who wore the standard dagger according to all period regulations, uniform charts, and OSAF dictates that I've been able to find), the FHH dagger--again with no proof or documents attesting to the reason they were awarded/worn.
That said, I think it's a quality work with an excellent binding, high grade paper, and I suspect that it will stand on its own merits even after the printing of Tom Wittmann's book.
