S.A. DAGGER WITH HANGER BY RASSPERare S.A. dagger, scabbard and hanger from maker Ernst Hugo Rasspe of Solingen. The grip of the dagger bears original SA button and eagle which fit properly. Theree is a tiny ding or two to the wood, mentioned only for accuracy. Detail to the crossguard and upper fitting remains entirely acceptable. The blade is very good, with etching still dark, though there is a small bit of corrosion where the blasfe meets the crossguard. Running lines are minimal. The scabbard bears a good deal of oxidation and one of the fittings lacks a screw: perhaps a little restoration might be called for with such a rare piece. Estimated accordingly.
Lot 893
ENGRAVED PRESENTATION S.A. DAGGERPresentation S.A. dagger. The dagger bears a dark brown wood grip inset with a somewhat oxidized S.A runes button and nickel eagle and swastika which retains excellent detail. The wood of the grip is slightly uneven incolor, and bears a little roughness at the upper hip. Both crossguards appear original to the dagger, fit very well to the grip, and are in very good condition. The reverse of the lower crossguard is marked: "BO". The blade bears a few very light running marks, and the etching of the S.A. motto "Alles fur Deutschland" ("Everything for Germany") is deep and still dark. The reverse rincasso is marked by the maker Carl Eickhorn. The red-brown scabbard is straight throughout. It has been repainted, and the lower fitting and ball bear some dents. The upper nickel fitting reads: "Treue um Treue ST. 2/1" with the reverse engraved with the owner's name: "Snelhof". The scabbard also bears the original short brown leather hanger with snap clip. Overall very good.

EARLY SS DAGGER WITH HANGERA superb SS dagger, one of the earliest of RZM production and marked "120/34" (possibly by Pack), with solid nickel components.

Correct for this maker, the lower cross guard is München district "I" stamped. The pommel nut is unscratched. There are some minor green spots on the fittings which are very easily cleaned. The blade's engraving is dark, and running marks are nominal and entirely acceptable. There is some surface oxidation to the blade, which might be correceted to some extent. A vertical hanger is present, and it is SS 48/34 RZM-stamped. The buckle on the hanger is nicely marked with the Assman logo as well as "DRGM". The scabbard is free of any distractions whatsoever. A superior dagger.

SS SERVICE DAGGERLate M33 SS service dagger at an affordable price. The hardwood ebony-stained grip is fitted with the original SS runes button which is entirely intact, though the national eagle fitted beneath is possibly a later replacement. The grip is chipped at top and bottom, undoubtedly due to the wood swelling in a damp climate. The nickle-plated fittings are very good, retaining sharp detail with very little wear. The round pommel nut shows no evidence of having been ever turned thus we believe this dagger has never been apart. The blade is beautiful: The engraving: "Meine Ehre heisst Treue" is deeply cut and retains almost all of the original darkeining. Running marks are nominal, and the cross-graining on the blade remains distinct throughout. The reverese is marked: "RZM 1198/39" with SS runes. The scabbard is in equally fine condition, with the fittings bright and fine, and the bulbous tip undamaged. The black paint is almost perfect, with only a very few miniscule chips wiely scattered. Also present is a regulation black ss leather hanger with the snap clip marked "RZM M5/71". But for the chipped grip and replaced grip, an excellent dagger worthy of restoration.

The national eagle is perfectly inset into the grip and original to the piece. It is undamaged and retains a great deal of its original detail.

The "anodized" scabbard is very good though lacking the original lacquer finish. The nickle fittings, though bearing a few surface scratches and tiny indents, also remain very good.

HERSCHEL ALBERT SMITH (USNA Class of 1922) twice saved the Enterprise during two of her most bloody battles of the Pacific War. During the Battle of the Eastern Solomons on August 22, 1942, Japanese bombs blew holes in the side of the ship both above and below the waterline. Smith organized a damage control crew to stuff mattresses into the holes and reinforce the "plug" with wooden timbers. Later during the battle a Japanese bomb penetrated the stern deck and lodged in the steering mechanism, jamming the rudder and forcing the ship to steam in circles instead of heading up into the wind to receive returning fighters nearly out of fuel. Despite the searing heat, he managed to restore rudder control just in time to land the incoming fighter squadron. The ship was damaged again in the Battle of Santa Cruz in October, 1942, and again set out for Nouméa, New Caledonia before another Japanese attack in the Solomons. Included with the lot is a copy of "The Big E", by Edward P. Stafford (New York: Random House), 1962, 499pp. 4to., containing a very specific account of the Battle of the Eastern Solomons and Smith's actions to save his ship. Aside from the minor condition issues mentioned above, these relics are in pristine condition, and are of museum quality and importance.
