M7/33 SA Dagger by F. W. Holler
A truly nice SA Dagger, this late RZM dagger by F.W. Holler (a RARE maker of SA daggers) is near mint! The metal plating is 99%, with only a couple small chips to the top of the pommel nut. There is a line of extremely minor surface pitting where the top guard meets the grip (on both sides), but hardly worth mentioning…

A truly nice SA Dagger, this late RZM dagger by F.W. Holler (a RARE maker of SA daggers) is near mint!
The metal plating is 99%, with only a couple small chips to the top of the pommel nut. There is a line of extremely minor surface pitting where the top guard meets the grip (on both sides), but hardly worth mentioning.
The grip is in amazing condition, with barely a scratch to note. The SA roundel shows some signs of the normal discoloration around the edges that you normally find with these, but does not affect the overall appearance at all. The eagle is nice and bright, retaining about 98% of its detail; very little wear at all.
The blade on this dagger is one of the best I’ve come across in a long time. Only a few VERY minor stain spots can be found, along with one slightly larger spot measuring approximately 1/8” x 1/8”. A very nice and pronounced cross grain remains, and the motto is nice and crisp with a uniform gray tone you’d expect to see from this maker. The maker mark reads, “RZM M7/33 1940”, which attributes to F. W. Holler, and is nice and crisp as well. Blade, cross guard and grip fit is nice and tight.
The scabbard color is a nice milk chocolate brown in color, with 99.9% coverage. I would give it a 100% rating if not for a couple very faint scratches that are hardly worth mentioning, but I’d rather note them nonetheless. The scabbard metal fittings are 100%, and the ball tip is without flaw. All scabbard screws are present and appear to be unmessed with.
The hanger is the most worn part of the dagger, with the leather showing its age, but is still very solid and no notable rips or weak spots. The metal clasp has a large surface rust spot on the exterior surface of the movable piece, but otherwise functions perfectly.
I can’t overstate how nice this one is. It’s rare to come across an SA dagger so well preserved, and by a rare maker on top of it. A real gem!

Hi Gary. What you’re describing makes me believe that the marking is beneath the eagle on the wooden grip, is that correct? I’d like to see some photos of your dagger so I can get a better idea of the marking you’re referring to. It may have been carved in to the wood by the post-war owner, but it’s difficult to tell without seeing it. I’ll message you privately about the photos I need to see.
Thanks!

I have an officer’s dagger with ivory handle that looks like the others you presented, except it has an FW Holler mark partially under the eagle wreath. Is this unusual?
