About the author
M G White-May’s love of these daggers — their history, and the craftsmanship and skill in each one — led to the book “Daggers of the SA-NSKK 1933–1942: A Collector’s Gallery”. What began as an idea for a digital and softcover photobook with submissions from collectors around the world grew into a much larger project: 330 pages and over 1,000 images.
“A collection is a reflection of its collector’s soul, a testament to their unique tastes and interests.”
