Early Ground Rohm Honor Dagger by Eickhorn – D890

Some of the factory ground Rohm’s have been accomplished with such precision, that it truly is tricky to actually make out if it in fact the blade had a dedication on it at one time. Though in several instances the trademark alone will give away that clue right off the bat. Here is a large oval Eickhorn which most likely a “magician” remove the Rohm dedication using quite some skill to say the least.

The grip to this M33 Storm Trooper’s dagger is in beautiful condition. As the pictures show, the contrast between the light and dark grain running throughout the wood projects a striking contrast. The handle is in fine shape, being void of any chips, cracks, flakes, and hardly even any pressure marks to speak of. A nicely toned high neck silver eagle has been perfectly set straight and flush to the center of this handle. The features and detail to the emblem are fantastic in regards to condition. So true is the SA button at the top of the obverse. It is void of any enamel damage, and still has excellent silvering to the letters and circular border. Both nickel silver crossguards have turned dark with an undisturbed patina which has settled over their surfaces.

The scabbard to this SA remains fairly straight, with just a couple of small surface depressions. As noted, you can see that the surface has oxidized over the years. In lieu of that, it flows with the rest of the components of this untouched edged weapon. Both upper and lower fitting are secure to the shell and have turned the same golden hue as the hilt fittings. 2 untouched factory screws hold the throat in place.

Though the surface of the blade shows some spotting and light age, it’s truly not all that detracting. Especially for the purest who love this look with the edged weapons in their collection. That aside, it remains full length, void of any sharpening, tipping, bends, or cutting edge chips. A fantastic dark burnished Alles fur Deutschland motto can be seen etched straight down the center of the obverse, and beautifully contrasts the factory polished areas. On the reverse there is just the slightest hint of surface waviness, the indicator that this dagger once had the Rohm dedication on it at one time.  Lastly shown is the large double oval squirrel trademark, that of the Carl Eickhorn edged weapon firm.

Here is a nice solid untouched early SA, that won’t tilt your budget.  SOLD
