GERMAN WWII NSKK DAGGER MARKINGS
The N.S.K.K. or Nationalsozialistische Kraftfahrkorps was a German organization established as a separate formation of the SA in about 1929. It was the Motor Transportation Formation of the N.S.D.A.P. and grew from the various SA transportation battalions of the 1920's.

The N.S.K.K. was assigned a dagger. All of which were of the SA style. Generally, these daggers were of the best quality. None were issued by the organization. Each individual would have to purchase their own when their uniform was issued.

The following is a list of the markings that would be found in the hilt of the dagger.
