Hi All:

It has been often cited, but I have never seen it published. I finally came across the actual order sent out to SS-Standartes from 4 July 1934 for the removal of the Röhm inscription from the Honor Daggers. A translation would be a big help in understanding what was supposed to be done.

Thanks,

Hi Ross,
try with this translation:

SS-Honor Daggers



At the previously issued SS-Honor Daggers, wearing the dedication of the former chief of staff Röhm "In cordial companionship", the dedication has got to be removed by grinding. To avoid higher costs, this grinding should be done locally, as possible. After removal of the dedication the dagger can be worn further."

Thanks Gerd! You have helped to add some important insight into this event. I find it very interesting that the reason for the grinding to be done locally was primarily economic.
