Hey everyone new to site. Wanted some info on some daggers. I have two 1933 Eichorns one is a small a full Rohm inscription immaculate shape. Then I have one with regular inscription with Adolf Huhnlein inscription. I would like to get anodes on value. I know the Rohm is extremely rare but I know little about the Huhnlein except for one high leader piece. I will post pictures when I have better connection. Thanks for any help. First forum participation so forgive me.
Welcome to the forum. There are multitudes of fakes of both the small A, Röhm dedications and Huhnlein blades so good pictures are a must. Try to post detailed pictures taken in natural light. Looking forward to seeing what you have.
Yes, welcome,
As Billy says, good photos will tell the story

I’m trying to do pictures but my iPhone pictures are too big of files. Trying to figure out how to compress them. Any tips
Several free programs on the internet for photo compression. The iPhone lets you set a lower resolution for smaller files and those will usually load. Worse case, send them to me and I'll load them for you
Both the Welcome forum and the Computer forum have instructions in size reduction and posting.
And, yes, we know its a pain, but the software we use does not have a photo resizing option.

The maker mark on the small A Röhm dagger blade looks too high on the blade, not the location of where a Röhm logo would be. The Huhnlein blade has a strange sheen to it and the Eickhorn logo seems unusual as well. I’d be suspect of both of these but wait for other opinions.
I have many problems with these 2 daggers. Trademark on the Rohm piece is in the wrong location, fittings don't look correct for the date of manufacture on either dagger. Huhnlein has high center ridge and scabbard is a late type.
In my opinion both daggers are copy.. If you give a good photo of the TM, we will see that this is not the original design of Eichhorn TM.
Yes, unfortunately: both postwar blades have been married to original parts and scabbards.
It helps us understand where all those original loose SA-blades, often offered for sale, are coming from...
best regards,
Herman
Sorry to see that both your daggers have bad blades. Can you say where you got them ?
