E.p.&s. Sa dagger

[FestungSpanien]

Hello,

Just wondering if this could stand a chance, as I see slight differencies in the marking compared to known originals.

Thank you.

Regards,
Ace

Looks all original to me. Blade has been cleaned/played around with though.

I agree; this piece appears to be original to the TR era, being part of the first orders for SA Daggers submitted from SA-Gruppe Nordmark in late 1933/early 1934. The blade on this piece has probably been cleaned, losing the accenting color on the obverse motto, and the scabbard tip hardware has sustained some damage. But for being 85 years old, it's withstood time and casual handling well; I hope the same will be said of me when I get to that age!
