Looks like you and Tom were having fun....
Regards: James

Looks like a rare Paul weyersberg DLV ??

That SA in the lower left- is that a white scabbard?

LOL>>>>>you love these daggers so much >>so you let them be on your bed.....nice looking SA though
regards

Yes, that is a Weyersberg DLV Leader and the scabbard on the SA is bright chrome/silver finish.

Damast: In the brown box is an Army Mini with a damascus blade with a Presentation Shooting Prize inscription with swastika. Very nice and RARE.
Ron Weinand

Can we see some pictures of the shooting prize.Thanks

Wow,

simply stunning. I really love the two RLB daggers (leaders if I am not mistaken). Most people do not like them as much as those beautiful SAs but they are equally nice in my eyes. Great catch!

JAN

Ron you and Tom with the suitcase look like two dagger salesmen from the time with your wears spread out

Jan, all four RLBs are there and they are very nice.
A couple of unusual SAs:
1. with Deutschland Uber Alles motto
2. with MEINE EHRE HEISST TREUE on the reverse over a ground Roehm area on a Haenel piece.
3. Plain blade Damascus SA with tang marked.
4. M33 Marine SA with camera case finished scabbard and engraved NSKK on upper scabbard fitting and light golden fittings early.
5. M33 Marine SA with nice copper-gold fittings and leather strap hanger with gold matching finish on the buckle and clip showing some wear.
I will post photos of these over the next few days when my photography girl gets out of her snowed-in driveway.
Ron Weinand

Ron, is there a chance to get some good pictures of one of the marine-sa for the SA-book Projekt of my german friend?

Who is now the owner of these daggers? You or Tom? (I ask for purchasing one of the RLB-Leaders, if possible.. ;o)

Early SA "Christmas Dagger"

Blade & Scabbard:

Blade:

TM

Eickhorn Assembler Number 4 on the hilt parts and blade:

Looks like a good day for you guys.
Can you tell me what's in the picture frame leaning on the pillow?

That's a bio of one of the SA Dagger's owners. It is an engraved piece with his name and a presentation dedication. He is in Manner im Dritte Reich from the 1934 period and he was a Stellinv. Gauleiter from Bavaria and the presentation dagger was from the Bav. SA.
Ron Weinand

Ron, do you think that early "A" dagger is a ground Rohm or not?

Mark

No Mark. I see no signs of the blade having dips or thinner on the reverse.
The only Rohm early A that I have seen in hand was a Pack.
I hope someone can piece together the reason and source of issue of this elusive dagger. Note that the ones in this thread are Wf marked crossguards. I will have to look at mine (its in the bank) and see if it is marked Wf on the guard.
Mine is an NSKK and MANY of the ones I have seen from Eickhorn are NSKKs (make you wonder if the group who received these first issue daggers were all from that SA Gau.
Ron Weinand

Looks like a nice pile of daggers, congrats

If possible, that presentation SA dagger with bio of the owner, would be lovely to see a pic or two of!

Thanks,
David

Lovely was it one major collection bought or was it a few smaller ones?

Nice to see so many lovely SAs

Ron:

Wonderful. It must have been like an early Christmas for you and Tom.

You look like kids on a candy store.

John

Just one major collection from the 1960s & 70s.

Several collectors are asking about the makers in this lot. IF there are any specific manufacturer's TMs you would like to see. Email me and I will post the TM photos if they are in this grouping. Yes, there is a Bulldog, but it is no better than the ones already shown on this site. Grey!
Ron Weinand

Nice score Ron, what a christmas gift bet you don't run across that too often.

Ah these guys get it all the time, Tom's old customers get out of the hobby and him and Ron get their song I mean stuff.

Funny how many people still do not know about this site, i'm not knocking Tom or Ron (more power to them)but it seems they could get more selling direct here, oposed to a dealer. Heck if i could i would make a living buying and selling daggers woulden't you.Now that would be a job i would love.
Reciently i've been hitting the militaria shows and a dealer will give you about half or less what an item is worth. Then ask top dollar 10 seconds later, because they seen the same maker on Tom's site. Thing is Tom usually has nice minty stuff and the guy's at the shows have average or common grade items, not mint at all.
Heck one guy had a common EM SS dagger without any stampings on the crossguards and was asking $25,000 for it saying it belonged to some high ranking officer, i laughed in his face i coulden't help myself. When i got it out of my system i asked if Tom, Paul H. or any well known dealer certified it and no response. Some people i tell you.
