As I remembr this seller had a number of fakes couple of years ago on his auctions sold as originals.

This looks good though.

The dagger in general looks OK, but I don't think the blade is right. Here's a comparison of correct Klaas maker marks compared to his blade on the right, lots of problems. A good rule-of-thumb with the Klaas logo is the beaks should touch, many fakes look just like this one.. Another Fake IMO...

Wrong, Luko.

Rohm SS daggers are found both with and without serial numbers.

Thanks for answer Dave, I've read in some article, all SS R�hms must have SS number on lower crossguard, that it was some regulation. But you must know it better with your experiences.

Luko,
My SS Full Rohm has no number. I inherited it from my father who fought in WWII and was stationed in Munich with the Army of Occupation afterwards. His duty then was to collect weaponry and ship it to formerly axis over - run countries like Greece. My dagger has been hand examined by one of the experts in this area and given a very big thumbs up.

Hi Lukas:

Here is a copy of one of the orders concerning the numbering of the SS R�hm daggers I have previously posted. Among these existing SS daggers, it appears that about 30-40% were actually numbered. Evidently everyone didn't get the memo. Of the numbered full-R�hm SS daggers, about 14 of these are actually identified to the SS member so far.
