Need help! Roehm personal dagger.

Gentlemen, I have one idea. Even we haven’t real dagger belonging Roehm, we can research it. Unfortunately we can do it only by original photos, period newspapers and archive documents. Lets try to solve together. Any help is welcome!

We can identify time of awarding the dagger to Roehm. By having good photographs it’s possible to research the dagger more carefully. Not all archives, have photo in digital formats and in open sources, that case someone personally has to order and visit archive. But for now it is enough what we have in open sources and collections of community members.
The dagger has a lot of differences from standard SA Services dagger. The dagger had a lot of custom work, which includes relief shell of scabbards and ornaments guards on grip. One interesting thing is that wood of handle had two insignias “SA” and “SS”. Besides “SA” insignia is located on top, showing domination of SA over SS.
It is interesting that eagle on handgrip has new shape. Behind the head we can clearly see flat area. On photo with Meyer-Quade (with Christmas dagger) eagle head has carvings. So his dagger was produced when final details design was approved. And it couldn`t be from the same consignment as Christmas dagger.
