one more little bit of info, the tang doesnt have the regular Boker tang mark of a short barbed arrow but rather a MK on one side and a 2 on the other side. Also region marked 1, and anodized scabbard.
Thoughts?

Looks like a nice blade. Little or no pimpling in the etch? Any lacquer on the scabbard?

The scabbrd is in nice shape, great anodizing but unfortunatly not alot of laquer left.

Also, one other thing I forgot to mention is those tang marks are the raised type not stamped. According to an old post by Houston, these are 99% correct on orginal blades.

Hi Lar
The makers mark distinguishes this as being a Rohm. (Fully Ground) I guess it has no inscription as you probably would have mentioned it. any chance of a pic of the complete blade reverse.

Nice dagger! The small MM is more rare than the art decco one.
