SA-661 Pack Rohm SA
Well as you guys all know by now I love dark mottoed SA's and here is a
sweet example that I just purchased from the Vet's grandson in N.C. on
the weekend. With some may bad pieces coming out of Eastern Europe right
now it's really nice buying these from Veteran families. Blade is a bright
example with light runner marks and minor evidence of age. I do not spend
hours with semi-chrome "tuning up" this stuff. All I did to this was to
clean the crap, oil and grease off. Motto is nicely darkened. The etching
color and depth perfectly match on both sides. The maker mark is correctly
executed as is the Rohm inscription. Blade rates Exc+/Exc++.
Scabbard anodizing 99%+ intact with a wee bit of oxidizing and traces of
factory lacquer. It's of course a textbook Pack scabbard, the ball is as
near perfect as you will ever find. The fittings are nickel silver
retaining all screws. Awesome grip is multi-toned in color with lots of
grain. It reflects the typical slim look Pack used on their political
dagger grips. There is a hairliner to the reverse upper and some light
pressure marks from normal wear. Eagle is perfectly fit. Roundel shows
darkening and some minor enamel loss. The handle shoulders and radii
nicely fit the solid nickel guards. The crossguard is stamped "Wf", which
we know is quite correct for Pack's Rohm daggers- see Fisher's
reference. This dagger has never been disassembled since this was returned
from Europe in 1947 and I won't be the 1st to do it. Overall Strong

SA-672 Early Hermann Konejung SA
Been a while since I've had one
of these just arrived from a Elmira NY family. Blade shows just the
lightest runner marks. Motto is crisp. All the
crossgrain is there and about 2"down from the tip is on both side is small
damage to the cutting edge, yes you will have to look hard to find this
but it's there. The blade rates
Exc+, were it not for this I would rate it NM. Scabbard is in good
shape with 100% of the anodizing intact. There are 2 small cuts into the
edge that I have again taken great pains to blow up for you, perhaps this
is how the blade got it's damage? The
ball has taken a minor hit that you will have to go looking underneath to
find. The lower fitting is a bit loose and one of the screws has been
turned, from the patina in the period, the other lower screw was missing
so I replaced it. The fittings are nickel silver. Hardwood handle displays good grain
but does have some very minor flaking at the lower obverse crossguard. Nickel eagle is perfectly fit with patina to
the recesses. Roundel retains 100% of enamel. The handle shoulders and
radii perfectly fit the solid nickel guards. The crossguard is stamped "Nrh",
which is correct for this maker, (see Fisher's guide). Blade is nicely set
into the crossguard. I have taken great pains to tell you everything
about this one, I know I sound anal about this stuff but I am so you don't
have to be. This is a great piece I'm sure you will be pleasantly
surprised with. Overall Exc+

SA-674 Early Puma SA
Another puma for your
consideration. Blade shows some minor age
grey and spotting. There's light crossgrain and evidence it's been cleaned
along the way. The blade rates an
Exc/Exc+. Scabbard is a real beauty with 99% of anodized finish intact and
75% of factory lacquer. There's evidence of honest wear. The ball has taken a
wee hit to the very bottom, you'll have to turn this upside-down to find
it. The fittings
show period wear in the form of small marks but no abuse. The fittings are nickel silver.
All screws are intact! Dark hardwood handle displays some small hits and marks but it's free of
chips and cracks. Nickel eagle is perfectly fit with patina to
the recesses. Roundel retains 100% of enamel. The handle shoulders and
radii nicely fit the solid nickel guards. The crossguard is stamped "Wf",
which is correct for this maker, (see Fisher's guide). Blade is nicely set

dagger with an original long snout early nickel hanger. Overall Exc+

Been a while since I've had one
of these. Steinbeck makers often had the niche for making super grips.
This one is no exception. Blade has an awesome jet black motto and shows some minor age in the form of
a few age spots
and evidence of a fingerprint beside the maker mark to hilt. All the
crossgrain is there but there are runner marks. The blade rates an easy
Exc++/NM. Scabbard is in good
shape with good anodizing and some oxidizing to the finish. The
ball is perfect. The fittings

NSKK-11 RZM 7/66 Eickhorn Chained NSKK
Marine
Leader
Rare dagger! OMG I see so many patinaed or
nicotine stained daggers being touted as Marine NSKK's that it makes my
head spin! Every show I get the "story" from someone. Real ones are rare
as hens teeth. So even if you don't buy this, look at it hard cause you do
not come across real ones often. Blade is a Exc++ example and really looks
good with just the lightest traces of age. Although there are a few very
light longitudinal scratches it still
retains all it's crossgrain. The reverse is etched with a RZM circle
placed over the code and the production date, "M7/66 1939". The blade
shoulders perfectly meet the underside of the lower crossguard. - Motto
and RZM mark are crisp and retain black factory frosting.
Scabbard-original plated fittings with the unique gilt that only Eickhorn
used. Look at the plated guards, real nice with just a bit of bubbling and the
slightest lifting right next to the wood. I would say no more than 1mm
from the wood no more. 99% of the plating is intact. and better than 80%
of the gilt wash. The scabbard body is
straight and the original paint is 99.5% intact with a couple scratches
and chips. The ball is perfect. Scabbard fits the blade nicely. The
scabbard mounts are the nickel-plated steel based variety and they are all
in excellent condition to include the lower ball with no lifting. The gilt
wash matches the chain and the crossguards in both colour and wear. The
throat is the thicker type we frequently see with Eickhorn political
daggers of this vintage. All plated dome head screws are in place and are unbuggered. The eyelets on the center ramp and the upper scabbard mount
are identical in size. The chain is the
standard four-link top and five-link bottom variety. The links
have excellent nickel-plating and gilt. The shield is the
standard style with acorn placed between two oak leaves. Two
chain links are marked, the one being "RZM M3/23" and the other being
stamped, "NSKK Korpsführung Musterschutz". Handle-is a well fit
red colored piece of hardwood setting off a Eickhorn nickel eagle. The SA
enamel is fine. Grip has a tiny flake to the reverse. No hairlines.

NSKK-2 RZM 7/66 Eickhorn Chained NSKK Leader
A recent purchase out of an advanced collection. Here's a tough
dagger to purchase, reproductions abound! Blade has nice crossgrain with
just the the odd scuff but really nothing, about as good as you will ever
find. Nice dark frosted motto is perfect! The blade rates NM. Scabbard is
a nice one with 99%+ of original paint. There are a few odd scratches but
finding one of these chained pieces with original paint and no nicks
is near impossible. The chains tends to chip the paint easily. The ball is
perfect. The fittings are nickel plated retaining all their unturned
screws. The plating is excellent, certainly rating better than 99%. I
looked hard and the only lifting I could find is a dot to the lower
obverse, by dot I mean as big as a small case "o". The hilt is a fine
example again with excellent plating. The only lifting here is to the
upper fitting, a few tiny dots where the wood meets the metal. Really nice
fittings here. Nice multi-toned hardwood grip displays good grain with
tones from light brown to black. The oxidation-free pot-metal eagle is
perfectly fit and exactly what I would expect to see on a 1942 dated
piece. Roundel retains 100% of enamel. The handle shoulders and
radii well fit the crossguards. Blade is perfectly set into the
crossguard. Lastly the
chain is in great shape, again with excellent plating. For those of
you who like to follow me against the textbooks, indeed the correct links
are stamped "NSKK Korpsfuhrung Musterschutz" and "RZM M5/8", (Assmann).
The stamps where executed very slightly off square as we often see. The
snap functions fine. From the looks of this thing it's never been apart.
BTW, I am not a fan of the trend I have seen of late taking everything
apart to photograph the insides. You do not need to give every dagger a
hysterectomy to know it's real. Sorry if that sounds like a rant. I love
this stuff and it's heartbreaking to see this, particularly when the
correct tools are not used! Overall an easy Exc++

SA-671 Early Puma SA
Love these early NSKK's they
sort of tell a story. Blade has a bit of age spotting towards the
crossguard but not too bad. Looks to me like someone has at some point
tried to clean the blade but was careful and it still has good crossgrain.
There is no sharpening or abuse here. The blade rates Exc+/Exc++. Scabbard is in good
shape being a period repaint, which all the these early ones should be. In
accordance with regulations the NSKK by order in 1936 were required to
repaint their scabbards to black to differentiate them from the SA organization
from which they grew out of. This was done with varying degrees of skill,
from that of a professional to that of a 5year old. Regardless this one
shows period wear with some of the black worn off revealing the brown
anodizing underneath. The
ball has a couple small hits but generally maintains it's
original shape. The fittings
show period wear in the form of small marks and hits. The fittings are nickel silver.
All screws are intact! Hardwood handle displays good grain
but does have a hairliner running up at the very top of the grip above the
roundel and another opposite that on the reverse. Both are clearly shown. Nickel eagle is perfectly fit with patina to
the recesses. Roundel retains 100% of enamel. The handle shoulders and
radii nicely fit the solid nickel guards. The crossguard is stamped "Wf". Blade is nicely set
into the crossguard. No evidence this has ever been apart. Overall
