Original Third Reich Early SA Dagger Full Ground Rohm By F. Dick- This authentic Third Reich SA Dagger carries the distinctive hallmarks of its maker F. Dick. The grip, fashioned from a specific wood known for its durability and elegance, bears the "Sw" stamp, indicative of its origin as an F. Dick Röhm SA dagger.
The wooden grip showcases a remarkable condition with rich tones and wood grains. Adorning it is the emblematic high-necked grip eagle accompanied by an SA roundel. While the detailing on the eagle, including the wing feathering, wreath, and swastika, remains discernible, there are signs of wear and use with its age. Notably, the grip seamlessly integrates with the crossguards, both of which are constructed from solid nickel, displaying a gentle patina throughout. The lower reversed crossguard bears the mark "Sw" denoting its association with the Sudwest Gau District.
Etched with the SA motto "Alles für Deutschland" (All for Germany), the blade retains traces of its original detailing, albeit worn, with remnants of cross graining visible. The Röhm inscription and manufacturer's logo on the reverse ricasso have been intentionally obliterated, though evidence points towards Friedrich Dick of Esslingen as the probable maker. The blade shoulders align seamlessly with the contours of the crossguard.
The scabbard, characterized by its straight form, remains in commendable condition. Anodized in brown, it exhibits minor wear and two inconspicuous dings/dents, with slight surface rust peeking through. The scabbard's fittings, fashioned from solid nickel silver, bear a harmonious patina matching that of the crossguards. Although the lower drag shows a slight split and a small dent at the ball, the original screws firmly secure the mounts. Overall, this Early SA Dagger has historical significance and craftsmanship, offering a glimpse into its Third Reich history.
