Army Officer’s Dagger with Portepee by Original Eickhorn Solingen

This Army Officer's Dagger is in EXC++ condition with Portepee. Model 1935. The total length is 39.8 cm. The Dagger has the maker mark on the blade: Original Eickhorn Solingen.

Grip: The grip of this dagger is a very pleasing deep orange color and remains in nice condition. The pommel shows minor traces of carrying time on the upper end. The 12 standing oak leaves are in excellent condition, all having hand enhancement. The ferrule and crossguard eagle are the 1st Style. The eagle has quite a bit of frosting clinging to the recessed areas as well as the upper arms of the guards. It shows virtually no wear and retains full, crisp detailing throughout.

Blade: The blade is also a fine example. It is completely bright and retains 100% cross grain with needle-like tip. The mark depicts the squirrel holding a downward-pointing sword. Above the animal is the quality word, "Original", and below are the name and location, "Eickhorn Solingen" The original small leather blade washer is in place.

Scabbard: The scabbard is straight as an arrow. It retains its crisp pebbled panel design. There are frosted remains in the protected areas around the carrying bands. The bands are very fine with each overlapping oak leaf reflecting hand-enhancing. The thick-style throat is retained by a single screw in the reverse center.
