Photographing many political daggers over the years, I noticed how just a slight angle of the blade to the camera lens will change the darkness of the burnishing.
If you look on this blade note the 'E' on E-pack and note how much darker it is, or seems to be, compared to the other letters as they curve further away from a 90 degree angle.

The staining inside the lettering etching seems to be consistent with the other stains on the blade. The Rohm dedication look to exhibit the same unique letter and style characteristics on e-pack dedicated SA/NSKK daggers.

The e-pack logo is the same as on 'textbook' verified Rohm examples.
For me it looks like a original dedication.
