Need opinion on this SA Dagger...

**dzyner** · 09-21-2010, 07:47 PM

What do you guys think about this SA dagger I'm considering purchasing? I know the photos aren't great, but they're the best I could get from the seller. I own one (a partially ground Rohm) and comparing the photos to mine as best I can tell it looks good, but I'm sure some of you are much more versed in what to look for with these than I am. The marking on the blade in m7/66 (a known Carl Eickorn mark).

Thoughts?

I'm on the border line with this one. It looks good from what I can tell, but the makers mark is hard to see due to blurriness. That is a bad sign from my expirience. Everything else looks ok. Maybe ask the gentlman/lady to take better pictures of the makers mark.

Hi Blitzkrieg Bop,

Thanks for the quick response. I've received other photos from this seller. All of his closeup attempts are fruitless. I think he just has trouble with close shots, which a lot of people do. What do you think about the brass colored eagle? Is that normal? Most I've seen are silver in color.

Hi Ronnie, that is my pet hate! Glad you noticed too.

Cheers, Ade.

Hey thanks for the feedback guys. I appreciate it. There is a correction to the makers mark, which shouldn't have any bearing on the authenticity since its still a known maker, but the mark is actually M7/13.

The worn eagle and about average condition is nothing
to worry about - IF - the price is right...............!

There are many others available that are better.
