I have been offered this blade for $900.00 what do you think of it please?

a ground down Rohm thats been reworked ?

could this of been done in 39

Wes,

Rather buy a minty regular SA with that money ...

Bill

he has a real nice puma trans with three peice hanger for eight hundred bucks, but this blade looks special and there's not a lot of info in my books for these.here's a shot of the puma he has for sale

maker mark side

Good suhl dagger was ruined...

Something smells too good to be true- MJM

why's that mike?

So then the honor blade is post war etched on a ground rohm and is ruined and not worth the money?

Wes:
There's alway a healthy dose of skepticism when something like this surfaces. You best bet is to run it by Frederick Stephens, who is an authority on etches, and get his opinion. I am going to withhold mine for now but I suspect it's similiar to Mike Ms.

Wes these dedications are a maze in which you can get lost forever, then stagger out bankrupt. I avoid them completely. Mike

Excellent words to live by. Also, if Mike Mac won't touch them, you shouldn't either

I hear ya ...it's just they look so nice and to find a deal on one thats eccepted as real, well that would fantastic eh?

Red flag to me is why is it only $100 more than a very desirable transitional dagger with a $120 hanger rig to boot.Puma every time no contest IMO

This etched suhl dagger has been for sale about few months here in Europe in one on-line action site...and now we have this mess here again

I on the other hand think a in hand would be the best way to approach this.Just because mike will not buy them does not make every one a fake.If you can tell from pics your pretty dang good.There are alot of of personal dedacations done on daggers so we must not rule them out yet. just my two cents.

FAKE, post war done etching, computer font used for the template. Check this thread: http://daggers.infopop.cc/eve/...60093573/m/622108213

ok well i should clear up that the honor blade for nine hundred is just the blade and not the whole dagger to my understanding. and the puma transitional is complete for eight hundred.he has sent me emails from both toms ,wittman and johnson who agree that the blade dedication maybe alright but they need to inspect in hand first before giving a final ok.

As Adam wrote, it is obviously a computer font. Honestly, do you really believe, that someone sell it for 900$...and for twice? As I wrote, this dagger has been for sale on market few months later...and now here it is again...save your money.

Lukas.

thanks, i did pass on all of them. did you see the F.dick full rohm i posted in the rohm section? he has it for sale as well.

Puma Looks to made up of "parts". Differing time periods

man this guy keeps sending me pictures of all this stuff , he sent me christmas dagger photos this morning.I stop beleving after he told me the two toms offered him x amount for the SA honor dagger.I think he's running some sort of con here , he's tring to hard

nice, Christmas with what looks like painted scabbard and plated fittings- would make a nice filler if cheap-Mike

$4000.00 not to cheap. and there all on different backgrounds, he is tring to hard to sell. maybe it's are old con man pawel with a new email address?

if these are all his daggers for sale i appolgise for thinking that this maybe a con. he does have good feedback on ebay and these are some nice looking daggers that i posted of his here. and i am only looking for the straight goods on these (real or not) is for you guys to judge. most of us dont have a lot of money to waste on bad stuff. but if something looks good i can pass along his email contact for anyone wishing more info..sorry i never meant to offend the selller or anyone.

Those Christmas Daggers "Start" around $7000 as of last year.

The cross guards are differing the upper looks solid nickel and the lower looks to be plated. It looks to be "parts" dagger but I will not comment on the blade. I would like to see a close up of the inscription. The 3pc hanger looks nice,,from here. Best Larry

here's the close up of the front and back for you

back

What is that under the letter "S" of Solingen,,, is that a finger print?

a shame is'nt it.? a small spot above the LL's in the front motto to.but still a nice looking blade dont you think?

It is a nice blade, but the continuous "In and Out" is not doing it any justice. I like the RZM logo, I have one like that on a Mid period NSKK

Theres no way this is a Christmas dagger. Look at the lettering in the motto and besides that this blade is a transitional. To my understanding Christmas daggers were the very first ones that were issued to high ranking officers back in 33. No dagger had RZM markings during that time period. JMHO. Cheers, Raul.

sorry i was showing you three different daggers here, i only posted the one shot of the christmas dagger. the puma was asked about so i posted the front and back of it. nobody asked to see more of the other daggers .
