To me it looks like an original. You should show where the name is ground off. Also how far is the makermark from the crossguard ?

Hello, I canno't agree. I have my own partial Röhm dagger from E.P.&S. And it is mile away from this piece. Logo distance is good, but designe is poor and inscription looks also bad to me. If I'll find pictures of mine, I will post them. Best, Lukas.

Hi Oliver, while the hilt on yours looks typical of a Pack, I can't say I like the blade. The inscription looks off, the motto is not the typical Pack style which is quite distinctive, and the maker mark is also not what I'd expect to see, although there are collectors that are quite happy with this version.

Have you checked for any tang markings and forge marks on the inside of the crossguards? If it hasn't been taken down already, rather laeve it be...

Agree with Redbaron. Just look at the motto. This is not a good one. Looks like Czech or Poland made.

Best, Lukas.

here some more pics. The grip doesn´t go from the tang,
i think he is rustet / corrosion. He sit hard on the tang and move only 2mm up... In the upper crossguard is a "S" ? in a horseshoe? as a sign...
I spray corrosion-solver and hope tomorrow go it better... The picture with the table are iron-corrosion where come out of the grip....

Oliver, the crossgaurd is correct for a Pack dagger, likewise the characteristics of the hilt. This dagger has obviously been together for a long time, but I still have to say the motto, maker mark and inscription don't look right to me. It is for this very reason that many collectors avoid Pack Rohms... Where's Wags and Gailen? would love to get their opinions on this one...

Again look at this motto and compare it with yours. I've seen these fake inscriptions here in Czech manytimes.

IMO Red and Luco are correct.
As mentioned already an e-pack Rohm dedication are unique to e-pack. As are other features on the dagger. I'll leave the motto alone and the makers logo, both as with Red, I don't like. But the actual dedication is not a epack that I have seen.
The fine crossgraining has been removed and a sanding type pattern seen on fakes placed to look like period crossgraining - it's not.
Unless Gailen says he seen one like this which I doubt, this one is a fake. My guess it is a Czech Ground Hump-up. -Sorry -

Don't be concerned about the tang markings. If it's Czech blade it will have the billet clamp marks because they make the blades on period equipment from what I heard. They will also have raised letters on the tangs.
Rust falling out the grip cavity...on that blade?! Eek Now that's easy to do, along with rusting the tang.

Easy quick test.get an ordinary Sa/NSKK dagger lay them both motto up and look at them. if it is a rohm you will notice something odd?

I admit this is not in every case but in the majority.

I am not in possession of either dagger, at present. Would you please explain what "odd" thing I would see.. I sold my collection of over 50 different German daggers over 25 years ago and am just too frustrated to try and start putting a collection together again(plus I could NEVER afford the pieces that I use to have). But, I always enjoy learning new info about these daggers. Thanks in advance. Peace, Mark

All the Pack daggers I have encountered always had facial features. First time I have seen Olivers and Mike PL without features. Did Pack make logos W/O facial features also? Larry

He means the E-pack logo, Man's face, should have eyes, nose and mouth. To have the surrounding details present but these interior missing is something you don't want to have on an e-pack.

Redbaron and Luko are correct.
This is IMO a bad blade. I've seen these and it looks like a Czech product to me. Everything is wrong. Even the grey tone of the burnishing.

As mentioned by Red, e-pack's, if you look closly, have e-pack only characteristics. Here's a e-pack Rohm Motto - compare that to the two daggers shown.

I don't care for the dedication on this one either.
Compare the area circled with Luko's example and mine.
There are other issues but his one is the most glaring.

I see you have this one For Sale here now. I believe it should be withdrawn until you get more opinions on it. And this is -just my opinion.
