Great!
You are correct in saying that your Dad played with it as a child. My guess is that he also let the blade rust and the cleaned it with emory cloth or sand paper. As Serge says, it was once a Rohm dedication dagger, but with the dedication gone, it is one of the most common SA daggers around. Plus the blade is terrible.
But,
That is one of the best dedication SA daggers I have seen. I would think you are correct in that the young mans grief stricken father did the dedication himself. Miss-spellings? He was not he sharpest knife in the drawer if he waved an SA at armed troops. Value? give a few days and I'll get back to You.
Live in NC? Me too. Cary. Would buy you lunch to see this one!
