The SA dagger was given to me by a vet in the early 50's & the SS was given to me in the late 70's by a Col. who said he found it in an officers boot when captured. Lightening my load, I sold them several years ago after searching for relatives. Both had been kept in excellent condition & I continued that tradition of course.
It's strange that the SA was always more common when the SS was a larger organization.
Negative connotations? I can't imagine that! Actually Steve, it seems more of the originals are showing up as the old soldiers die off & the families don't have that association with with treasured souvenirs.
Hockey fans, I'm off line mostly because of Heineken Regatta & parties. Only 2 more days of partying.
