Carl Heidelberg SA

[scubasteve1808]

Hi there. I'm fairly new to collecting at at the age of eighteen, I'd say I've got quite a while to keep on collecting At the moment, I've got a few flags, two Heer Army Daggers, a Swedish Sawback Bayonette in mint condition(I'd like to say so atleast ), and a few other miscellaneous items.

I recently acquired this and I'm hoping I don't get too addicted so soon!







Please let me know what you all think. I've read that the "P" denotes SA Gruppe "Pommern", but what can I learn about the "Br. 10. 829"? Also, can anyone tel me a bit more about the maker Carl Heidelberg? I was unable to find much information regarding.

If more photos are needed, please let me know!

Nice dagger I can't tell you much about the numbers stamped on the crossguard ( Br. stands for "Brigade" I guess), but Carl Heidelberg is a rare maker, 6/10 points on rarity scale.

Interesting. No wonder I could find hardly any information What exactly determines the rarity? The total numbers produced or what?

Fishers reference rates your dagger as scarce with an estimated 4000 made and gau stamped Ns orWf, it is well worth investing in the 4 volume reference

Thanks for the kind words all.

Does anyone here have an idea if any information can be gathered from the markings "Br. 10. 829."?

I've been curious for days now!

A really nice SA dagger. Good looking motto, and a rare maker to boot. Well done.

Andrew, if you don't get enough responses to your brigade marking, you may want to consider posting the dagger in the SA/NSKK section dedicated to these specific daggers on GD.com. Not all members there frequent WAF. There are some guys who strictly collect SA/NSKK daggers and they can probably provide some better insight than i'm able to.

Again, nice piece. Congrats.
