Hi all
What do you think. Is this a real or a fake.
The history is that it was born as the ex. Röhm Ehrendolch, and then polished down. Still marks of inscription left
Buy or not buy SS Dienstdolch

Hello. Welcome to the forum. IMO not a good piece, nor an ex Rohm blade. The rune button is off center and the handle cracking towards the cross guard indicates it was taken apart and re assembled too tightly. The makers logo sits where it would normally be placed on a typical blade, not lower towards the cross guards as ground Rohm daggers often display. Lastly the blade condition does not match the rest of the dagger and the tang nut was painted black at some point in time. JMO. Best regards.

Brian, Röhm made Hammesfahr daggers had their logo at the exact same spot as the standard Hammesfahrs.
Only Eickhorn, Böker and Klaas made smaller logo's which were placed closer to the lower guard.
I have no problem or what so ever with this dagger.
Lower guard shows the Roman III, which is most of the time found on Hammesfahrs. The fact that the runesbutton isnt nicely placed in the centre, happens from time to time. Hammesfahrs were mass produced and weren't always that accurate at all.
The condition of this highly salty and patinated dagger is ver bad though. And we also need a good close up of the logo to see if it was touched by grounding or not to determine if it was a Röhm or not.
Scabbard was indeed repainted.
Thanks for the correction Krisse. Always happy to learn. Looking forward to the consensus on the Rohm dedication attribute. Hope it turns out to be positive. Kindest regards.

Dagger appears to be authentic which it shows details consistent.
Yet its in poor shape as stated and painted ( History Hidden unfortunately ) on the grip.
If that much muck was able to be removed to see something barely visible then it should be easy enough to remove more from the blade tosee if there ever was an inscription there.
Krisse is correct this producer was mass produced during the period and also massed faked there after decades later. Cleaning the blade can only help it ..in its current rancid condition.

Thanks for the extra Pics Osindre...with seeing these extra photos..i have never seen corrosion like this on a blade before..and the dedication seems to be over cleaned prior to this " corrosion " Im wondering if someone dipped it in some acidic solution to create this effect? Just a thought.
For this being a Ground Rohm...and in the condition it is in, it will not hold any high market value. The blades on these SS daggers and on any dagger for that matter are the key point that gives the dagger any value at all.
What ever happened to this dagger the blade runners have rested upon the blade in state.
By the way..this dagger is parted together and the fittings were never original to each other take notice to the lower guard and the condition of the blade
