Rare early example of a Marine-SA Service Dagger (ca. 1933–1935), manufactured by Albert Dörschel, Solingen. The lower crossguard carries the matching group mark “Ho” for Hochland. A highly desirable and exceptionally scarce piece of early SA dagger production.
Grip: Wooden grip fitted with an inset national eagle and an enameled SA roundel, both originally pinned and untouched. Upper and lower crossguards made of solid nickel, fully gilded. The reverse of the lower crossguard bears the group stamp “Ho” for Hochland.  All fittings retain their original, evenly preserved gilding.
Blade: Mirror-bright blade with clearly visible crossgrain. The obverse features the deep, crisp motto “Alles für Deutschland”. The reverse is stamped with the Albert Dörschel, Solingen maker mark. The blade shoulders fit precisely into the lower crossguard – a typical characteristic of early-production pieces.
Scabbard: Iron scabbard with original brown factory finish, straight and free of dents. The nickel-plated scabbard fittings are secured with two side screws each. The upper fitting is equipped with a closed suspension ring for the hanger. The finish shows a fine, evenly matured patina. Lower ball slightly deformed, which is typical for SA daggers.
Not easy to find Marine SA dagger in this condition.
