I'd like some opinions on this SA Dagger, particularly the Rohm inscription. I found it very difficult to take decent photos of the blade. Hopefully you'll be able to reach a conclusion on originality.
Thanks!
Kurt

I'm having difficulty posting the other photos. I keep getting message that the photo I'm posting is a duplicate of one I posted in the past 5 minutes. The maker is Carl Eickhorn. The top of the scabbard is engraved on both sides - "E. KURTZ 1934" on one side and "BR 16/223" on the other.Comment

Hi Kurt, can you post a pic of the makers mark on the blade in relation to the crossguard. The mark should be close up near the crossguard. I would be concerned that it might be too far away? The presence of a buffer pad would also be another concern, as these are often placed there in order to disguise a bad blade to crossguard fit. Buffer pads were not a normal feature of SA daggers.
Cheers, Ade.Comment

Yes The maker mark looks to be a bit too high on the blade..

The very bottom of the maker's mark oval is 5/8 inches above the crossguard (not the leather buffer).
Thanks for your assistance with this!
