Click on the link, look at the dagger, and see if you can list all the faults below

Good luck,

Vern has mine right now and I anxiously wait to see how it turns out.

And, during the occupation, a pin for Norwegian Dockyard workers was also awarded, similar in concept to the French submarine worker pin, but much harder to find.

Ado.., This Swastika ring I'm showing.... When I first joined up here over 20 years ago. There was a member who was American but living in the CZ Rep. He had bought a few rings and sent me photos... Probably a 1/4 of them were fake.. But the good ones were really good!

Anyway,,I usually do not collect hand carved rings [like DAKs, Krim, etc.] But this Swas is the absolute best hand carved ring I've ever seen!. It was sold a couple times and I know you now are its caretaker..

There is,,or was,, a topic on the ring with some good photos etc. I couldn't find it... Maybe,,when you have some extra time you could post photos of this wonderful ring. The detail is amazing,, a super quality ring a real jewelry expert made.

Well hope to see it featured here,, its hallmarks , sides, etc. It is special in the world of hand carved rings ! ..., Thanks , G.

Hello to All
Von Ryan here:
I have added to my website a link to order The Volume, German Etched Dress Bayonets (Extra-Seitengewehre) 1933 - 1945 in PDF Form ready to download to you (in an email attachment). Once downloaded, you can convert to your phone or tablet if you wish.
It's easy to order, just go to vonryansexpress.com and follow the ad.....it's a 13MG download so it might take a while 45 minutes or so to complete. Please be patient.
Thank you all
Wayne

Great news, Wayne,

Thanks for the time you've taken.

I agree with hermann and I may add further the producer logo is bogus as well.

Hello Vik,

Kober Röhm SA's are very rare, so there is not a lot to compare with...

But I do have some doubts when I look at these pictures:

- the etchings of the maker mark and the inscription look quite different: dark and thin for the MM, and large and grey for the inscription.
- the cross grain looks unusual, maybe it has been redone after the inscription was added.
- the grip might have been treated to make it "blond", unlike Haenel, Kober did not use this very light type of wood.

Anyway, this piece needs a in hand inspection to be sure about the authenticity, especially of the Röhm inscription.

Who was signing the certificate of authenticity of this one?

Best regards,

Herman

That is a super Böker score, PVON, congratulations!

Paul.,,, have you ever checked,,,, Is the writing soldiers names? commanders? The units?, the campaigns? or what? , nice collection you got going there!

[Something funny,,a few years ago a friend told me a guy had a plain 'meatball' flag so he decided to copy the words /or characters off a Japanese sushi restaurant menu on it to increase the value!]

I appreciate all replies funny I posted a 100% period and killer Imperial Naval dirk with the best scabbard in this same post and NO one mentioned it at all......LoL

all in excellent condition as well -nice
