Original German WWII SA Dagger by Rare Maker August Bickel of Steinbach-Hallenberg with Scabbard Hotchkiss MG the 53rd TCWOriginal Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice early war pattern SA Dagger, made by rare maker August Bickel of Steinbach Hallenberg, near Suhl, Germany. This is only the fourth item of any type that we have had from this maker, and all edged weapons from them are quite rare. It comes complete with the original scabbard, which looks to have had a wartime repaint. The dagger has nickel plated fittings throughout, and is a really nice example.
