RZM M7/15 SA dagger with brown scabbard
This RZM M7/15 SA dagger combines a blade in top condition with a shaped wooden grip and brown scabbard. The reddish-brown grip carries the familiar SA roundel near the pommel, together with an inset eagle below. Silver-coloured crossguards complete the hilt.The dagger follows the SA service-dagger pattern. However, the photographs do not establish an exact production year. The description therefore concentrates on the visible construction, markings and condition of this particular example.
Blade and markings
The blade is in top condition and provides a particularly attractive feature of this dagger. Its obverse carries the etched motto “Alles für Deutschland”. On the reverse, a circular RZM emblem accompanies a maker code that appears to read M7/15.Reflections affect the blade’s appearance in the photographs. Accordingly, these should not serve as evidence of corrosion or deterioration.Specialist maker references associate M7/15 with Carl & Robert Linder of Solingen-Weyer. Collectors can consult the
Carl & Robert Linder maker-mark reference for comparison with the photographed marking.
Grip, fittings and scabbard
The wooden grip has a pronounced central contour and visible grain. Its inset SA roundel and eagle remain clearly visible, while the close photographs show light handling marks on the surrounding wood.Both crossguards have curved profiles and silver-coloured surfaces. Nevertheless, photographs alone cannot establish their precise alloy or confirm whether every fitting belongs to the original assembly.The accompanying brown scabbard retains its upper and lower metal mounts. In addition, the upper fitting carries a suspension ring. The lower mount ends in a rounded ball, completing the familiar scabbard profile.
Maker history
Carl & Robert Linder operated in Solingen-Weyer, within Germany’s established blade-making industry. Lakesidetrader’s historical summary records the firm’s manufacture of household, pocket and hunting knives, alongside SA and NSKK daggers during the Third Reich period.The same reference assigns the company RZM code M7/15. Importantly, Carl & Robert Linder should remain distinct from the separate Carl Linder firm when describing the maker.
Condition and authentication notes
The blade is in top condition. By comparison, the grip and fittings show light handling marks and surface patina. The brown scabbard displays mottling and finish wear, with minor marks on its metal mounts.The visible construction is consistent with the SA service-dagger pattern. However, a firm originality assessment requires closer examination of the maker marking, insignia seating and component fit. The current photographs support the identification but do not establish an untouched assembly or documented ownership history.For related examples, browse our
