This is a nice, honest early SA dagger by maker Robert Herder, Solingen with the nice, hard to come by maroon windmill maker mark — almost a color match to the grip.
The grip on this one has a very nice, deep burgundy tone – a very elegant color! The grip eagle retains approximately 90% of its original detail, and the SA roundel is 100%. There is a very small hairline crack along the left quarter of the roundel. This is typically the area we see small cracks with these SAs. The fittings show only a few minor scratches, with the Gruppe mark “Wm” on the lower guard.
The scabbard is the anodized type, with much of the color having faded over the years, leaving behind a nice silver-gray tone. The tip fitting shows some dings (evident in the photos) but the ball has escaped the brunt of it and remains a nice oblong shape.
This dagger’s blade is in exceptional condition overall, with only the normal runner marks and a few surface oxidation spots here and there — mainly on the reverse. The motto at one time was a nice maroon color, but the even tone has been lost. The motto, however, retains almost 100% of the dark tone.
Overall a nice, hard to find dagger, and at a reasonable price.

Luftwaffe M42 Winter Camo Single Decal SD Helmet
SOLD!Here we have an interesting M42 Luftwaffe Single Decal helmet with the remnants of the winter camo still present around the eagle, the rim, and other areas of the exterior. This is not uncommon as the soldier “scrubbed” the camo on/off of the helmet depending on the terrain. Winter camo Luftwaffe helmets are very difficult to find in any condition, and while the white of the camo has been scrubbed from the surface, even having the remnants present makes this a rare find.
