Description

An extremely rare NPEA Student's Dagger made by Karl Burgsmüller, Berlin. Worn by students of the National Political Institutes of Education "NPEA" based in Oranienstein (founded 1934). So-called "NAPOLA".

Etched motto "Mehr sein als scheinen." to the blade. "Karl Burgsmüller, Berlin-Charlottenburg" marker marked. Stains. 

Brown wooden handle, similarly designed as a SA Dagger, however, without emblems. No chipping. Fine stress cracks. Nickel fittings. The crossguard "O." (for Oranienstein) stamped as well as "108" numbered".

Original olive-green factory painted scabbard. Made of steel (magnetic). Both original screws in place. The frog stud is "753" stamped to the back (not shown on the pictures). No dents.

Including the matching leather frog. The seam has opened on the lower area of the right side.

A worn dagger!
