SA Full Rohm Honor Dagger [Ernst Röhm] by Carl Eickhorn Solingen

This SA [Sturmabteilung] Honor Dagger in EXC++ condition. Model 1933. The total length is 37.5 cm. Early Nickel fittings, lower guard with "Sw" stamp. The Dagger has the full rohm inscription: In herzlicher Kameradschaft Ernst Rohm. Maker mark on the blade: Carl Eickhorn in Solingen.

Grip: The mounts on this example are all solid nickel. The lower crossguard is Gruppe marked, “Sw - Südwest / South West ”. The grip is a fine furniture-like wood. This grip is of medium contour construction and is in nice condition. The SA runes button has good enamel and is perfectly placed. This eagle is in fine condition throughout having full details to its head, eye, breast and wing feathering, talons, wreath and mobile swastika.

Blade: The blade is a fine example showing just a tad of age on the surfaces but is still in EXC++  condition. The SA motto is crisp and deep. The reverse of the blade is also bright, having the Röhm inscription In herzlicher Kameradschaft Ernst Rohm and exactly matching the backgrounds of the SA motto. The trademark is the one we normally see on Eickhorn Röhm daggers, being the small double oval variety used from 1933 to 1934. The ovals contain the firm's name and location, “Carl Eickhorn Solingen”. Inside is a seated squirrel holding a nut in his paws and with a smooth tail. The blade shoulders nicely fit the crossguard contour.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is a fine example. There is also some original lacquer scattered around the scabbard. A few minor age spots are visible in the finish, but overall it is a pretty nice example. The scabbard mounts are of solid matching nickel, in good condition with just a minor ding to the bottom of the lower ball. Attached to the carrying ring of the scabbard is a three piece hanger. This hanger has nice leather throughout the belt loop and retainer loop.
