E-432c  SA Dagger With Hanger by RZM M7/33 (F. W. Holler)
Although this is a RZM piece, the construction is of the highest quality, while remaining in very collectible condition.  In addition to the condition, the Holler RZM SA Dagger is a very difficult item to locate, especially on today’s market!  The crossguards are the nickel plated variety still retaining a collectible appearance.  As is the case with most nickel plated SA examples, the plating shows minor lifting/pimpling in and around the upper and lower obverse and reverse grip areas.  Upon closer examination, they are internally stamped with the caster’s mark E.W.  Not a common finding on RZM daggers, but 100% correct!  The grip is a quality item showing minimal wear/age.  It has a dark mahogany color with a very nice vertical grain in addition to having a medium contour ridge.  The grip-to-crossguard fit is very nice.  The grip eagle is the plated copper variety showing much wear to the plating, grading 30% exposing the beautiful copper base metal.  The eagle is the high necked style.  The SA runes button is mint having a slightly convex shape.  The blade is bright and shiny retaining all of its crossgraining.  The blade is etched with a very crisp SA motto “Alles fur Deutschland”, or translated “All for Germany”, having nearly 100% of the background darkening.  The tip and both edges are crisp.  The runner marks are the norm for a Political dagger.  There are a few minor smudges to both sides, but nothing to loose sleep over!  The reverse ricasso is matching etched with the Holler small closed RZM circle and beneath is the maker’s code M 7/33.  The scabbard shell is totally straight throughout with the exception of a very, very tiny dimple to the middle of the reverse side.  The original factory paint is the chocolate brown color, grading 99%!  Beautiful!  The mounts retain a very nice bright/shiny, nickel plating, grading 100%!  The four domehead side screws are intact showing mild turning signs.  A VERY NICE RZM dagger!  A MUST for the SA type collector!  Strong excellent.
