Full Rohm SS dagger by Eickhorn
Here is one that I really like, and hope you enjoy it also.
Besides the outstanding condition of this Full Rohm example, what I really like is it tells a story by it's wear.
It is my opinion, that the hanger was last placed there by the SS man when it was issued.
The dagger was worn a few times, and then put away, obviously due to the Rohm expungement order.
Fortunately the SS man, didn't choose to make a grind job himself on the dedication or send it to the factory for a professional job.
I believe this example was a 'G.I. grab piece' that was turned in in a pile when the Allied Weapon surrender was initiated, or found by a G.I. in a house.
Returned to the states and put away is what appears a climate friendly area, and untouched for decades.
Dagger was never cleaned, or disassembled. Scabbard still retains some original 1934 lacquer.
Blade exhibits, outside of the runner marks, 100% cross grain and burnishing in the motto and logo.
Grip has a few small not distracting scratches. Eagle is well set, SS runes button has full enamel.
I have not removed the hanger since I acquired this example, as for me, doing so would take away a tiny bit of history.

It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

Drop dead gorgeous, you own a very nice treasure that many would love to see in person and every dagger collector would consider having a limb cut off to own. I dont use my left arm much anyway :-)

Serge what more can i add that hasnt been said?
What stroke me the first time i held a SS Rohm dedicated dagger in hand was the crispness of the dedication.
Razorsharp set like a pencil stripe, we now see here a magnified picture make it look big, but in hand it realy pops of the blade!
Love this gorgeous dagger!!
Regards,
