I did not know if the Stormtroopers name was present in this inscription or was it a possible early SA leader presentation ?? Gift or what ?? Can anyone help out here ..Greatly appreciated . Thank You Brent

Hi Brent,

I think I can partially decipher the inscription:


Laß dich nie beirren !
s.l. ___________ zum 18.5.1934
von seinem Vater

"s.l." is usually the abbreviation for "seinem lieben" ("his dear")

In English the inscription reads:

Let yourself never mislead!
his dear __________ on May 18, 1934
from his father

I´m still puzzling over the remaining words.

Maybe any others can help?

It seems this dagger has been a present of a father to his son, who joined the SA.

The middle line could be:

S.L. Junge (or jungen) ......... Mayer

Translates to:
His dear son ......... Mayer (or Mayers)

Unfortunately there are not many people left who can read the old German handwriting.

Brent, you may want to post this or a link to this in the Wehrpass forum section. Those guys deal with this type of handwriting all the time.

Unfortunately there are not many people left who can read the old German handwriting.

I don´t think it´s "Junge" for several reasons:

- the first capital letter is IMO an "I" ( a "J" should protrude below the line)
- the line above the "u" is missing (see the word "zum" ... it has the line above the "u")
- the word itself is one letter too short for "Junge"

I was thinking about "Ingo Heinz Mayer" and just for fun googled the name

and guess what was the first hit on Google

Why wander around in the distance, when good things lie nearby
