GERMAN SA HIGH LEADER HONOR DAGGER

Black metal scabbard and composition handle is detailed in oak leaf. 8.5" polished cast metal blade engraved "Alles for Deutschland" on one side and stamped/dated M7\37 on other.

Introduced in 1938 The High Leader Honor dagger was different from the regular honor dagger as it was standardized. It was fashioned after the presentation dagger given to Victor Lutze after he became the new head of the SA. Members awarded this dagger were limited to only some high leaders, those that excelled in their duties.

Large differences, between the normal Honor dagger and the High Leader Honor, consisted of the suspension chain having small plates bearing Swastika’s. The handle is made of wood and the hilt and cross guard are also decorated with oak leaves and acorns. The only manufacturer of this dagger was the Carl Elkhorn Company.
