Ground Röhm - SA Dagger by E.P.&.S.

German WWII > Edged Weapons > SA and NSKK Daggers > Röhm Daggers

A Model 1934 Sturmabteilung Ehrendolch by Ernst Pack & Söhne of Solingen. Ernst Röhm Honor daggers were granted to members of the SS/SA who either had uninterrupted service since December 31, 1931 or those who transferred from the Hitler Youth prior to December 31, 1931. After the Night of the Long Knives, Ernst Röhm was declared a “traitor” and removal of the inscription was mandated.

The blade on this one looks great. The acid etched “Alles für Deutschland” motto is dark crisp and beautifully executed. The reverse was completely ground and only leaves about 10% of the Jung Siegfried wielding a hammer “E. P. & S. Solingen” maker mark. The crossgrain to the obverse is stunning running the full length and is easily visible as you shine it in the light. The fit is nice and tight and the tip comes to a perfect point. The blade rates Exc+/Exc++. The edges have all been sharpened leaving scratches throughout and there is only minor spotting. The sheet metal based brown anodized scabbard is in excellent condition. It has oxidization spotting throughout and one wee bump to the obverse. The solid nickel-silver scabbard fittings are in excellent shape. They have Textbook Pack features. The ball remains perfectly round. All four screws remain intact. The scabbard / crossguard fit is perfect. The solid nickel-silver crossguards are in wonderful shape matching the scabbard fitting’s color perfectly. The reverse of the lower crossguard is Gau stamped “Nrh” (Niederrhein). The textbook light grained hardwood grip looks excellent. Typical bumps throughout. The solid nickel eagle is beautifully detailed. The SA roundel has a perfect fit and retains 99%+ of its enamel. A Textbook style Pack.
