Anton Wingen Jr Partial Ground Rohm SA Dagger

I honestly love these pieces! They really give you a true sense of history just by holding them in your hand. The bright blade on this one looks great! The acid etched ?Anton Wingen Solingen" maker mark and "Alles Fur Deutschland" / "In herzlicher Kameradschaft Ernst Rohm" mottos are all beautifully executed! The etching, both back and front exactly match in depth and color. I would say about 10% of Ernst Rohm's name remains visible, even despite Hitler's edict. On these, the more of the name remaining, the better! The crossgrain remains evident in the light, it has a solid fit and comes to a perfect point. The blade rates Exc++. The removal was a backyard job. The dent-free brown anodized scabbard remains in beautiful condition! The solid nickel fittings are also in beautiful condition and match the crossguards in color and wear! The ball is perfect and retains its original round shape. All four screws remain intact and unturned! The scabbard / crossguard fit is perfect and closes with a snap! The reverse of the guard is stamped "Wm" (Westmark). The dark hardwood grip looks awesome! No chips and no cracks or splits anywhere. I say that and there are wee bruises and hits one expects from normal wear. The correct nickel-silver eagle is perfectly fit and retains beautiful details throughout. The SA roundel also has a perfect fit and retains 100% of its enamel. A nice example, with real history at 1/6 of the price you would expect to pay for a Full Rohm!
