Hello Stevade I m not sure this will answer all of your questions, but there were no RZM Rohm daggers. He was killed in 34 and being accused of treason all blades bearing his inscription and name were ordered to be removed from circulation. RZM license approval/dispersal did not come out til mid 34, the year of his persecution and subsequent murder. So the timeframe does not mesh. Have a read through this previous post of Larry's in regards to Rohm daggers their attributes and known makers. I think it will help you out. Best regards.

June 30 1934 - Rohm inscription pattern

My 2 cents; Eickhorn was not using that logo (with CE) under the squirrel in 1936.

Sounds like another case of "buyer beware" when it comes to Third Reich items. Real minefield out there!

Wittmanns SS reference pg 167
I see no issues with the dual logo transitional and the blade once being a Rohm blade regrind.
The period of the RZM transition for daggers began in 1934 ...1936 began the transition of dual logos
Yes it is correct to see the large double oval smooth and serrated tail logos on Eickhorn SS daggers..the same as Eickhorn Rohm SA daggers.
You also came across this dagger on September 24th on the GHW but did not post these same thoughts
Regards Larry

Hi all thanks for your comments ...
My concern was the fact the logo is positioned high up the blade in comparison to all other Rohm Eickhorn I’ve come across.
Also I’ve never seen a Eickhorn Rohm with the C.E in the Logo. I have seen variations of the Squirrels tail.
Why would the RZM appear on the Blade?
Larry .... Are you saying I came across this dagger on the GHW in September?

Steve you ask: Why would the RZM appear on the Blade?
The story goes that these Large Oval Rohm daggers were sent back early 1936 to the Eickhorn Werke to get a factory regrain to remove the Rohm dedication, after that they applied them with the new RZM logo.
Therefore its possible to have differences in blacking between the Original oval logo and the newer applied RZM logo.

Thanks Ger ...
I also asked why would that particular model have the logo high up the Blade when all the others I’ve seen is close to the crossguard.
And never seen a Rohm with the C.E in the Oval.
Not disputing anything, more of a lesson being learnt!!

Yes September 24th to be exact post # 12. Not this exact dagger but one posted on lakesidetrader as seen above. The dagger on the GHW has a cracked grip but still the same logo combination.
Some of your threads are the same on both forums.

A current thread that is on both forums > SS Vertical Hanger ..... True or False
which you copy and pasted the same text as the text on GHW is still highlighted which you forgot to click the standard text font removing the highlight.
Your email is the same on both forums.
Ring any bells yet ? Sept 24 ?
Best Larry
