Hi all, I have a question about this dagger my uncle gave me long ago. Is it an SA dagger? The reason I ask is because the scabbard is black and I thought it should be brown. Any help solving this mystery for me is appreciated. 

Thanks Mark

Not a mystery at all. The NSKK used black scabbards. Other than that, same dagger was used by both organizations. 

Thank you very much 

That's a beautiful Holbein ~ style original SA dagger.  That may be an ᛋᛋ scabbard.

The group mark Mi is for Mitte, which was found on both SA and NSKK daggers, There were only 5 NSKK regions, vs. 20 some for the SA, so that does line up with it being an solid NSKK dagger.

Thanks guys for the info
