Third Reich Army Officers Dagger-Eickhorn

A standard 35-41 Army dagger from the prestigious manufacturer Eickhorn, but having one of the best detailed crossguard eagles it would be possible to find: no wear, all the the black background toning intact and superb detailing to the wing and breast feathering, even the stippled background to the swastica is clearly visible. Pommel and grip in fine condition, the grip being a slightly darker orange tone to the reverse. Rear of the crossguard has poorly applied, scratched initials, these being “EHK”. A leather blade washer remains within the recesses of the crossguard, and this has no doubt led to the near perfect condition of the blade which has full crossgrain, a needle like tip and the Eickhorn mark on the obverse ricasso. Scabbard has some minor areas of plate loss to the obverse but good detailing to the stippled panels and the suspension bands. A single pan headed screw retains the throat in the upper reverse scabbard area.
