Nice dagger. The bumps are from the etching process and common on Boker daggers. I have been told it had to do with the hardness of the steel but not sure if that is 100% accurate.

I had another question. Since the Rohm inscription appears to have been removed pretty harshly... does this effect the value of the dagger? Of course I think it was period done... but great care was NOT taken to remove the inscription cleanly... what does this do to the value?

A "full Rohm" with complete inscription is very pricey. One with a partial inscription is less so, but still brings more than a non-Rohm and a fully ground one, all things being equal. All manner of ways were used to remove the inscription, some rather crude, so, for most collectors I would say a fully ground Rohm is just that, regardless of how indelicately the grinding was done. The trademark here was used by Boker only on Rohm daggers, so that would add to the appeal, verifying it originally had the inscription. This blade appears to have been seriously buffed. Originally, Boker used very dark backgrounds in its etches, apparently to conceal the "bumps" noted.
