Original German NSDAP (NAZI PARTY) NSKK M33 DAGGER. By Carl Wüsthof, Solingen Certified By The Gettysburg Museum of History.  The development of the NSKK, “National Sozialistisches Kraftfahr Korps” (National Socialist Motor Corps), can be traced back to 1923 when the SA introduced a “Kraftfahr Abteilung” (Motor Section) to transport personnel as required. In 1928 the SA Motor section was expanded to “Kraftfahrstaffeln” (Motor Squadrons). In an attempt to create a national motor corps, the NSAK, “National Sozialistisches Automobil Korps” (National Socialist Automobile Corps), was formed in April of 1930 as an NSDAP auxiliary organization subordinate to the SA. In early 1931 Adolf Hühnlein was appointed as Chief of the NSAK and proposed a name change to NSKK, which was officially accepted in April of 1931. Still subordinate to the SA in 1933 when the SA dagger was introduced, the NSKK also adopted the dagger shortly after its introduction. The dagger was intended as an ornamental item and its design was based on the traditional 16th century Swiss “Holbein” dagger. In May of 1936 Korpsführer Hühnlein decreed the NSKK dagger scabbards were to be finished in black to differentiate them from the SA dagger. Roughly, 22cm long, double edged, nickel/silver plated, drop forged steel construction blade with a low central ridge. The blade shows the expected scabbard runner marks with some of the original cross-graining. The obverse of the blade has the acid etched Sütterlin script motto, “Alles für Deutschland”, (All for Germany), The reverse of blade has an acid etched manufacturers name and logo, indicating manufacture of the firm of Carl Wüsthof,. The dagger has a nicely formed walnut grip which has a nice snug fit to both the top and bottom fittings. The grip has a national eagle (this is 100% correct for this maker and model) and  Enamal nickel/silver-plated runic SA button, which are both nicely set into the grip. The nickel/silver cross guard, pommel, and tang nut are all in nice condition. The dagger comes complete with its original magnetic sheet metal scabbard. The scabbard retains about 99% of its black paint (see photos). The nickel/silver scabbard fittings are all in good condition.  All of the four threaded fitting retaining screws are intact. The top fitting retains its hanger suspension loop and ring. The ball is free of dents and dings.   Nice period used NSKK Dagger captured by a U.S. Veteran and brought home as a war trophy. Nice used example showing the expected age with almost no wear. 100% Guaranteed to be authentic. A very desirable and outstanding example.  Complete museum documentation (COA) Provided. Certified by The Gettysburg Museum of History. The Gettysburg Museum of History does not support or condone Adolf Hitler or the Nazi Party and is only offering this as a historic relic.
