Hi Jan,
When the depth of motto and inscription are both the same: this is an original Rohm dagger... but not textbook: the makersmark is very, very rare, but does exist. The crossguard-marking AND tang-marking is correct for EPS, every collector of SA daggers can confirm this. Only "problem" is the "strange" crossgraining, maybe post-war?
But: don't buy it when you are not conviced!
regards
