Untouched Early SA Group Thuringen Service Dagger by Gebruder Heller with Hanger and Belt Loop

Both sides of the blade show typical runner marks together with spots and stains. The motto has lost most all of its interior burnish. The dark brown wood grip shows some scratches and minor dents, but it is without chips or cracks. The grip is inset with a nickel eagle which has very good detail. The enamel SA runes button has chips in the brown background of the button. The guards fit the grip well and show an uncleaned patina. The reverse side of the lower guard bears the “Th” mark of SA Group Thuringen. The scabbard finish shows age, with wear to the finish and with the scabbard showing spots and verdigris. The scabbard fittings, like the grip guards, exhibit an old and uncleaned patina. The black leather hanger and the belt loop show wear but they are intact.
