Ground Rohm SA Honor Dagger by Eickhorn – D1215

Along with the E Pack firm, the Carl Eickhorn edged weapon company made the lions’ share of the order for 125,000 SA Rohm Honor daggers. Here is a nice example in this listing. 

A beautiful burl wood oak handle begins the description of this early Stormtrooper’s dagger. The handle is in excellent condition, void of any chips, splits, missing chunks, or repairs. The nickel silver emblems have been expertly set both straight and flush to the obverse. Where the eagle is shown with a dark undisturbed patina over its surface, the SA runic has a little bit of surface oxidation on it. All the hardware on this hilt also displays a thick muted surface patina, as nothing has been cleaned on this dagger since being returned home as a souvenir from WWII.   

The scabbard to this dagger remains straight, devoid of any splits, creases, dents, or dings. While the factory oxide brown finish and dulled over the years it still projects a nice un-touched look to the rest of this edged weapon. Both upper and lower nickel fittings are in good shape and solid to this shell. The grime over these components nicely matches that which is seen on the crossguards. 

The blade is a beauty. Full length, straight, tight in the fittings, void of any sharpening, tipping, buffing, polishing, or cutting-edge chips. A killer Alles fur Deutschland motto is beautifully burnished and etch straight down the obverse. The reverse show that this blade was factory ground and then re-polished. The job was accomplished in beautiful fashion, with just basically one spot of the grind visible off to the side of the trademark. Truly a nice blade for such a “green” early SA in all respects.  SOLD
