WW2 German SA Dagger Ground Röhm F Dick
Offered here is a very fine example of an early SA dagger produced by the F. Dick firm in Solingen Germany before WW2. This dagger originally carried an etched motto, as well as the signature of Ernst Röhm. After the “night of the long knives” and the removal of Röhm and his top lieutenants, the SA were ordered to remove the inscriptions. Most were sent back to the factory and had the blades redone. But many chose to do this themselves, which results in what collectors have coined the “lazy man” method of removal. This “lazy man” did a superb job as the blade is gorgeous. He in the process removed about 98% of the maker logo, but left us just enough so we can positively ID this as an F. Dick. The scabbard retains the vast majority of its original anodizing, all parts are early nickel silver, as well as the snout nose hanger clip. What I love most about this piece aside from the great condition, would be that the patina matches throughout, that alone is proof enough that this dagger was never messed with. A true beauty that will shine in any collection!
