Luftwaffe Dagger [1937] with Hangers and Portepee by Eickhorn Solingen
This 2nd Model Luftwaffe Dagger, produced by Eickhorn and is in EXC+ condition overall. Model 1937. The total length is 42.8 cm. The Dagger has the maker mark on the blade: Eickhorn Solingen.
Grip: The grip of this dagger is a beauty, being a shade of light orange and is tightly wrapped with wire, grip is damaged in the lower area. The pommel is a great example. The oak leaves which surround the swastikas are extremely well rendered and hand engraved right up to the smooth center ridge line.
Blade: The blade is in Near Mint condition throughout. This blade is etched on the reverse with the Eickhorn trademark having the firm's initials and location beneath, “Original Eickhorn Solingen”. The leather washer is in place.
Scabbard: The scabbard is also a fine example. The throat is slightly thick and is retained by two screws.
