SA Service Dagger RZM M7/73 (F. u. A. Helbing)

The blade is generally bright, showing some surface grime, scratches, typical runner marks, and some mossy spots, but with visible cross grain being evident. The burnishing is absent from the motto. The wooden grip has a nice aluminum political eagle inset into the grip. At the top of the grip is the enamel SA runes button which is without damage. The grip itself is without chips or cracks and it fits the guards quite tightly. The guards have largely intact plating, with some specks of plating loss on the guard edges. The dagger is very tight within the scabbard. The scabbard shows some spots of paint loss, but the scabbard paint is for the most part intact.
